Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure within the eye. It is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide and can progress slowly over time without symptoms.
Treatment for glaucoma aims to reduce intraocular pressure and prevent further damage to the optic nerve. This may involve prescription eye drops, oral medications, laser therapy, or surgical interventions such as trabeculectomy or glaucoma drainage implants.
Treatment for glaucoma can help slow or halt the progression of the disease, preserving vision and preventing blindness. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are essential for optimising treatment outcomes.
The duration of glaucoma treatment varies depending on the specific interventions used and the severity of the condition. Medications may need to be used indefinitely to control intraocular pressure, while surgical interventions may offer longer-lasting effects. Regular monitoring by an eye care professional is necessary to assess treatment effectiveness and make adjustments as needed.
