Glaucoma is a condition that can eventually lead to total vision loss if it’s not detected and addressed early. To do this, though, you need to know what to look for. Our team at Family Eye Clinic – your optometrists in Little Rock and Sherwood – have put together this guide to help.
The following are some of the most common signs of glaucoma:
Unfortunately, some of the symptoms do not show until glaucoma is already taking a toll. That’s why it’s essential to have a comprehensive eye exam every year and discuss any concerns with your optometrist.
Treatment for glaucoma depends on the severity of the condition and more. For some, eye drops or similar treatment methods can be used to lower the pressure in the eye. For others, glaucoma surgery may be necessary. Your eye care specialist will discuss each option and potential treatment method from lifestyle changes to glaucoma surgery to help prevent or slow the progression of your condition.
