Glaucoma Treatment
Glaucoma is an eye disease usually associated with high eye pressure that causes a deterioration on the optic nerve, and results in a loss of peripheral vision. We provide Glaucoma diagnosis and treatment. Most patients use prescription drops once or twice a day to lower the pressure in their eyes. Periodic perimetry is usually part of glaucoma treatment.
Perimetry
Perimetry is a test of peripheral vision that involves concentrating on a small, central light and then pushing a button each time a light appears somewhere in the peripheral part of ones vision. This test is used to evaluate glaucoma progression as well as a variety of other neurological and retinal diseases. Our office uses an Allergan/Humphrey perimeter.
