Glaucoma

Protect vision. Prevent blindness.

Glaucoma Management:
Preserving Your Vision

Glaucoma is often called “the silent thief of sight” — and for good reason. This progressive eye condition can cause irreversible vision loss without warning signs in the early stages. The key to protecting your eyesight is early detection and ongoing management to keep eye pressure under control and prevent damage to the optic nerve.

What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma refers to a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, the part of the eye responsible for sending visual information to your brain. In most cases, this damage is linked to increased pressure inside the eye, though glaucoma can sometimes occur even when eye pressure is normal.

Early Detection Saves Sight

Because glaucoma often develops without symptoms, regular comprehensive eye exams are essential — especially if you have risk factors such as family history, age over 60, or certain medical conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. With advanced diagnostic tools, Dr. Belgrave can detect even subtle changes in your eye health to catch glaucoma at its earliest and most treatable stages.

Personalized Treatment Plans

If glaucoma is detected, the goal is to protect your remaining vision and slow or stop further damage. Treatment may include prescription eye drops, lifestyle adjustments, and regular monitoring to ensure your eye pressure stays within a safe range. Dr. Belgrave tailors each plan to fit your individual needs and health profile, offering consistent care and clear communication every step of the way.
