Glaucoma Management in Pensacola, Florida
Glaucoma threatens your vision and overall eye health, potentially leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. At Dr C Vision Care, we are experts at diagnosing and managing glaucoma, helping you protect your sight and maintain your quality of life.
What Is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often due to high intraocular pressure. This damage can lead to vision loss or blindness if not properly managed. It's challenging to detect on your own because it typically progresses slowly and painlessly, often without noticeable symptoms until significant damage has occurred.
Early diagnosis of glaucoma is crucial to prevent permanent vision loss. Our advanced diagnostics make early detection possible, allowing for timely and effective treatment to manage the condition and prevent or slow vision loss.
