Glaucoma is a leading cause of preventable vision loss—but with early detection and personalized care, many patients maintain very good eyesight for life. At Ophthalmology Associates of San Antonio, our glaucoma specialists use advanced diagnostics, medical therapy, lasers, and surgical options to preserve vision and protect the health of your optic nerve.
Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that often develops without noticeable symptoms at first. It occurs when increased pressure inside the eye damages the optic nerve, gradually affecting peripheral vision and, if untreated, central vision as well.
Because vision loss from glaucoma cannot be restored, early diagnosis and consistent management are essential. Regular eye exams and monitoring are the best ways to catch changes before they impact daily life.
Glaucoma treatment focuses on lowering eye pressure to protect the optic nerve. Depending on your diagnosis and the stage of your condition, your treatment plan may include:
Treatment is highly individualized, and our team works with you to create a long-term plan that protects your vision while supporting comfort and quality of life.
