Glaucoma: Types and Warning Signs


Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damages the eye's optic nerve and tends to worsen over time. The two most common forms of the disease are open-angle glaucoma and angle-closure glaucoma. Open-angle glaucoma is less severe and often presents no noticeable symptoms until irreversible damage has occurred. Signs of angle-closure glaucoma include blurry or hazy vision, eye redness, nausea and vomiting, severe eye or forehead pain, and seeing rainbows or halos. Seek emergency medical care if you experience any of those symptoms.

Expert Care for Macular Degeneration: Slowing Progression


As leading macular degeneration eye doctors, we provide advanced care for patients facing this challenging condition. Our focus is on slowing the rate at which the macula deteriorates through a combination of lifestyle adjustments, nutritional guidance, and appropriate medical treatments. Surgery may be necessary in certain advanced cases. In that case, our optometrists can refer you to qualified ophthalmologists for the specialized surgical care you need.
