Managing Glaucoma with Precision & Care
Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that damages the optic nerve, often caused by elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). It is a leading cause of blindness in older adults, making early detection and treatment crucial for preserving vision. At Nova Eye Institute, Dr. Nariman Nassiri and our experienced team provide expert care to manage glaucoma and protect your sight. With personalized glaucoma treatments and advanced technology, we are committed to helping you every step of the way, aiming to slow its progression and keep your vision clear.
Our Approach to Glaucoma Treatment
Currently, there is no cure for glaucoma, but effective management can prevent further optic nerve damage and vision loss. We focus on lowering intraocular pressure with medications, laser therapies, and surgery tailored to each patient's needs.
Medications
We prescribe eye drops and, in certain cases, oral medications that either decrease fluid production or enhance fluid drainage within the eye. Consistent use as directed is essential for effective pressure control.
Laser Treatments
Our laser therapies aim to improve fluid outflow or reduce fluid production:
- Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT): An office-based procedure that enhances fluid drainage to lower IOP.
- Cyclophotocoagulation: Performed in a surgical center, this outpatient procedure reduces fluid production to achieve desired pressure levels.
Surgical Options
For cases where medications and laser treatments are insufficient, we offer surgical solutions:
- Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS): Ideal for mild to moderate glaucoma, MIGS procedures improve fluid outflow with less invasive techniques, promoting quicker recovery.
- Traditional Surgery:Procedures such as trabeculectomy and the implantation of tube shunts create new drainage pathways to effectively lower IOP.
