Understanding Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a condition that damages the optic nerve, often due to high intraocular pressure. It typically affects peripheral vision first and can progress without noticeable symptoms. There are several types of glaucoma, including:

Primary open-angle glaucoma: The most common form, developing gradually with few early symptoms.
Angle-closure glaucoma: A less common type that can progress quickly and requires prompt care.
Normal-tension glaucoma: Optic nerve damage occurs even with normal eye pressure.

Early detection through comprehensive eye exams is key to fighting against permanent vision loss.

How We Manage Glaucoma

Managing glaucoma focuses on lowering intraocular pressure and protecting the optic nerve. At Optometry on Bronte, our care includes:

Prescription eye drops: Medications to help reduce eye pressure and slow disease progression.
Oral medications and laser therapy: When appropriate, we offer additional options for effective pressure management.
Surgery co-management: We coordinate closely with ophthalmologists when surgical intervention is required.
Specialist referrals: For advanced or complex cases, we refer patients to trusted glaucoma specialists.

Our Diagnostic Technology

Our diagnostic tools help detect glaucoma early and track changes over time:

iCare tonometry: Measures eye pressure comfortably and accurately.
Visual field testing: Evaluates peripheral vision to detect early signs of vision loss.
OCT (optical coherence tomography): Creates detailed cross-sectional images of the retina and optic nerve.
Fundus photography: Captures high-resolution images of the optic nerve for careful monitoring.

These diagnostic technologies allow us to create personalized care plans and early treatment, helping preserve your vision.
