Glaucoma

What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a condition that damages the optic nerve, often caused by increased pressure in the eye. It can lead to vision loss and, if untreated, permanent blindness. The tricky part is that it usually progresses slowly, and symptoms may not be noticeable until later stages. Regular eye exams are crucial for early detection.

At Modoc Family Optometry, we offer personalized treatment plans for glaucoma, often incorporating the use of specialized eye drops. These drops help manage eye pressure, slowing down the progression of the disease and reducing the risk of vision impairment.
