Glaucoma Testing & Treatment at Professional Family Eyecare

Tech-Driven Glaucoma Treatment

With the right diagnostic technology and medical expertise, we can help treat your glaucoma before the disease causes long-term damage to your eye health. At Professional Family Eyecare, we’ll give you the same level of care we’d give to our own family.

What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma describes a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, the organ responsible for sending visual information to the brain. Glaucoma has several causes, but the most common is pressure buildup in the eye. What makes glaucoma so challenging is that it can occur to people at any age, and it has no warning signs. The effect is gradual, so by the time a patient notices glaucoma’s symptoms, permanent damage to their vision has already been done. Thankfully, our state-of-the-art imaging equipment can help us notice even the most subtle signs of glaucoma to protect your vision and be proactive about your care.
