Glaucoma is a serious eye condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is a leading cause of irreversible vision loss, but with early detection and proper treatment, vision loss can be prevented or slowed down.
At Dell Laser Consultants in Bastrop, our glaucoma specialists are committed to educating you about glaucoma and providing you with the most advanced treatment options.
Glaucoma damages the optic nerve, which is responsible for transmitting visual information from the eye to the brain. There are several different types of glaucoma, but the most common is open-angle glaucoma, which typically develops slowly over time.

Damage from glaucoma is usually caused by increased pressure within the eye, known as intraocular pressure or IOP.
When left untreated, glaucoma can lead to gradual vision loss and eventually blindness. Since glaucoma often has no symptoms or warning signs in the early stages, it is important to have your eyes checked regularly, especially if you have a family history of the condition or other risk factors.
The vision changes caused by glaucoma are irreversible, so it’s essential to start treatment right away if you are diagnosed to prevent the progression of the condition.

There are several treatment options available for glaucoma, depending on the type and severity of the condition. The goal of treatment is to lower IOP and prevent further damage to the optic nerve.
Eye drops are often the first line of treatment for glaucoma. They work by either reducing the amount of fluid produced in the eye or increasing the outflow of fluid from the eye. If medications do not work to adequately lower your eye pressure, your eye doctor may recommend glaucoma surgery to help slow the progression of the condition.
