Personalized Glaucoma Treatment at VisionQuest Eyecare
What Is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is the term for a group of conditions caused by abnormally high intraocular pressure (IOP), which can damage a crucial part of your vision system, the optic nerve. Commonly known as “the silent thief of sight,” this condition is difficult to detect without specialized training and equipment, and the damage it causes to your optic nerve is irreversible. This makes it crucial to detect glaucoma symptoms early during a comprehensive eye exam — before your sight is threatened.
What Causes Glaucoma?
- Having a family history of glaucoma
- Having hyperopia (farsightedness) or myopia (nearsightedness)
- High blood pressure
- Previous eye injuries or surgeries
