“Glaucoma” refers to a group of eye conditions characterized by damage to the optic nerve, often caused by elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). This progressive disease can lead to irreversible vision loss if not detected and treated early. While anyone can develop glaucoma, it most commonly affects older adults, people with a family history of glaucoma, and those with diabetes or high blood pressure. Maintaining a consistent care regimen with an eye care professional is vital for managing glaucoma. During regular eye exams at Uptown Optometry, Dr. Wong can catch changes in IOP and optic nerve health early, allowing for timely intervention. Our doctor’s focus on early detection and proactive care can help you safeguard your vision longer.
