Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can cause vision loss and blindness by damaging a nerve in the back of your eye called the optic nerve. The symptoms can start so slowly that you may not notice them. The only way to find out if you have glaucoma is to get a comprehensive dilated eye exam.

Immediate treatment for early-stage, open-angle glaucoma can delay progression of the disease. That’s why early diagnosis is very important.  Narrow angle glaucoma can also be treated at an early stage with an in-office laser procedure.

If you’re diagnosed with glaucoma, you have several treatment options. There is no cure for glaucoma but it can be effectively managed to prevent vision loss.
The most common and least invasive form of treatment is using eye drops that lower your intraocular pressure. But there are several surgical options as well. These include:
Laser Trabeculoplasty
Laser trabeculoplasty is a minor procedure that uses a laser to open up blocked channels in the trabecular meshwork present in open-angle glaucoma.
Trabeculectomy
A trabeculectomy is a procedure also used to treat open-angle glaucoma by removing part of your trabecular meshwork.
Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS)
Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery, or MIGS, is a procedure that lowers your intraocular pressure. This is possible by using a tiny device to drain fluid in the eye. MIGS is often recommended as the lowest-risk procedure with the quickest recovery time.
