Your Glaucoma Doctor

Glaucoma has no early symptoms. Yet early detection and treatment are absolutely crucial to preserving your sight. To better understand glaucoma and its management, here are some questions you could ask your eye doctor.

• What type of glaucoma do I have?
• How many glaucoma patients have you treated?
• How long have you been treating glaucoma?
• What percentage of your glaucoma patients have lost their sight?
• How fast will my glaucoma progress?
• What are my treatment options?
• What can I do to help slow the progression of glaucoma?
• Can I talk to other glaucoma patients you have treated?
• Are there certain medications I should avoid?
• Are there certain vision procedures I should avoid?
• Do you offer classes, support groups, or educational materials on coping with glaucoma and vision loss?
• How often do I need to come in for an eye exam to make sure my glaucoma isn’t progressing?
• How much will my glaucoma treatment cost?
• Does this cost include follow up visits and procedures?
• Are there any more fees besides that?
• Which financing plans do you offer?

Glaucoma is usually treated with special eyedrops. Please read more about it on our Glaucoma page. If you’d like to have an initial consultation, you can read about that on the consultation page.

A family history of glaucoma is one indication that you might at some point suffer from it yourself. So don’t delay in coming for a vision check. We can test to see if you’ve been starting to lose any vision, and be aware that you can lose vision without knowing it. It happens so gradually that you get used to it along the way. So contact us today to give yourself the best chance of keeping your best vision.
