Glaucoma Treatment

In Dallas, Texas

Glaucoma is an eye condition known as the "silent thief of vision”. It consists of increased pressure in the eye that can destroy the sensitive nerve fibers responsible for vision.

There are no noticeable symptoms such as redness or pain.
Glaucoma affects approximately 2% of the population over the age of 35.
Glaucoma can cause permanent and serious vision loss, leaving you with tunnel vision.

Who is most at risk?

People with a family history of glaucoma
People with systemic diseases such as diabetes, anemia or hardening of the arteries
African Americans and Hispanics
