Glaucoma Management & Surgery
Glaucoma is an eye disease characterized by increased intraocular pressure (IOP) within the eyeball, leading to optic nerve damage and gradual vision loss. If poorly controlled or left undiagnosed, it can cause irreversible loss of peripheral and central vision. Additionally, there is a type of glaucoma that can develop suddenly in some individuals.
Glaucoma is often called the ‘silent thief of sight’ due to its mostly undetected progression. This makes regular preventative eye health evaluations crucial for the early detection and management of this disease process.
Today, we have safer, faster, and more convenient options to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) and prevent further vision damage caused by glaucoma. Dr. Phil Alabata is a highly skilled and knowledgeable ophthalmologist with fellowship training in glaucoma treatment. He stays current with the latest, evidence-based treatments for this complex group of eye disorders.
