What Is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a general term for the eye disease that harms your optic nerve and ultimately causes irreversible loss of your peripheral vision if untreated. The damage is caused by the intraocular pressure (IOP) inside of your eye being too high for the eye to handle. When your IOP is in an unsafe range, it can start to push on your optic nerve causing vision loss and over time, even blindness.

Are You At Risk for Glaucoma?

It is possible to have glaucoma and not even know it. Sometimes called “the silent thief of sight,” there usually aren’t any symptoms you’d notice until irreversible damage has already been done. We know how important early detection of glaucoma is, so we check for its signs during all regular comprehensive eye exams. So, while you may not have any symptoms of the disease, our doctors can still spot its presence using advanced technology and start you on a management plan as soon as possible. If caught early, glaucoma can usually be well managed preventing any noticeable vision loss to the patient.

Both my kiddos (ages 7 & 3) are at ease with her which speaks volumes for how well she does her job. Dr. Liepins is fabulous and everyone we’ve encountered in the office has been great.
