National Glaucoma Awareness Month is the perfect opportunity to gain information in order to help your loved ones understand what glaucoma is, as well as help to ensure they see their ophthalmologist regularly.
Most glaucoma can be managed with medication, some of which are as simple as taking eye drops. Surgery can also help to create drainage by removing a piece of tissue from the eye or installing a mini-shunt (about the size of a grain of rice.)
