Types and Causes
Open Angle – Your eye has a mesh-like structure, through which the fluid in your eye flows. However, this mesh-like structure can get clogged or blocked, resulting in open angle glaucoma, and creating fluid buildup and pressure in the eye.
Narrow-Angle – More common in farsighted eyes, this type of glaucoma occurs because the structure of the eye itself lends to blockage and inhibits the flow of the fluids in your eye.
Treatment
While not treatable or reversible, glaucoma is very manageable and if you catch the condition early enough, chances are you can live the rest of your life without completely losing your vision. We screen all of our patients with the latest scanning and imaging technologies. If glaucoma is detected we can manage your condition in our office at your convenience.
