What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that can cause damage to the optic nerve and lead to vision loss. It is often referred to as the "silent thief of sight" because it often begins with no noticeable symptoms. While there is no cure for glaucoma, early detection and treatment can help slow the progression of the disease and preserve vision. As low vision specialists, optometrists can play an important role in the detection and management of glaucoma. They can perform comprehensive eye exams, including measurements of intraocular pressure and evaluations of the optic nerve, to detect signs of glaucoma. Additionally, low vision optometrists can work with glaucoma patients to develop customized treatment plans that may include low vision aids, vision rehabilitation, and other strategies to help them maintain their independence and quality of life despite their visual impairment. By working closely with glaucoma patients, low vision optometrists can help them achieve the best possible outcomes and manage the challenges of living with this chronic eye disease.
