Under the expert guidance of Dr. Gabriel Ferreira, our dedicated team specializes in cutting-edge treatments for glaucoma, a condition known for its potential to harm the optic nerve and impair vision, often due to elevated intraocular pressure. Our approach focuses on early detection, personalized treatment plans, and ongoing management to safeguard your vision against this silent threat.
Understanding Glaucoma
Glaucoma encompasses a group of eye diseases leading to optic nerve damage, crucial for vision, often linked to increased eye pressure from abnormal fluid buildup. Remarkably, glaucoma can manifest even with normal or low pressure, making vigilant care and early detection vital.
Glaucoma Risk Factors
Awareness of glaucoma’s risk factors is the first step in prevention. Key risks include advancing age, particularly post-60; a family history of the condition; ethnicity, with African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, and Asians at higher risk; certain medical conditions like diabetes and hypertension; past eye injuries or surgeries; and prolonged use of corticosteroids.
Comprehensive Glaucoma Treatments
At North Manhattan Eye Center, treatment begins with a thorough assessment to tailor a strategy suited to your condition's specifics. Our multifaceted approach includes:
Minimally Invasive Treatments: Offering advanced MIGS options that effectively lower intraocular pressure with minimal discomfort and swift recovery times.
Laser Treatments: Utilizing precise laser therapy to enhance fluid drainage or reduce fluid production, effectively managing intraocular pressure without invasive surgery.
