What Is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma refers to a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure). Over time, this damage can lead to gradual, irreversible vision loss.

One of the most challenging aspects of glaucoma is that it typically develops without early warning signs. Many patients do not notice changes until peripheral vision is already affected.

That’s why early detection and ongoing management are essential. At our office, we use advanced imaging and testing to identify glaucoma early and monitor it closely over time.

When Are Glaucoma Procedures Recommended?

Glaucoma is often initially managed with prescription eye drops or medications. However, when pressure remains elevated or progression continues, procedural treatment may be recommended.

Glaucoma procedures are designed to improve fluid drainage from the eye or reduce fluid production, ultimately lowering intraocular pressure.

You may be a candidate for a procedure if:

Eye pressure is not adequately controlled with medications
You experience side effects from eye drops
There is evidence of disease progression
A more long-term solution is desired

Each treatment decision is made carefully, based on detailed diagnostics and your individual needs.

Types of Glaucoma Procedures We Offer

At New York Laser Vision and Aesthetics, we offer several advanced treatment options for glaucoma, allowing us to tailor care based on the type and severity of the condition.

iStent

The iStent is a minimally invasive implant designed to improve fluid drainage within the eye. It is often performed in conjunction with cataract surgery and helps reduce intraocular pressure with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue.

Goniotomy

Goniotomy is a precise surgical procedure that enhances the eye’s natural drainage system by opening the trabecular meshwork. This allows fluid to flow more freely, helping to lower pressure in a controlled and effective way.

Laser Iridotomy

Laser iridotomy is commonly used for angle-closure glaucoma. This procedure creates a small opening in the iris to improve fluid flow and relieve pressure buildup within the eye.

Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT)

SLT is a non-invasive laser treatment that targets the eye’s drainage system to improve fluid outflow. It is often used as an alternative or supplement to eye drops and can be repeated if needed.

Each of these options offers unique benefits, and our team will guide you through the most appropriate choice based on your condition and goals.

What to Expect During Your Evaluation

Your glaucoma care begins with a comprehensive eye exam and detailed assessment of your optic nerve and intraocular pressure. We use advanced diagnostic imaging to evaluate the structure and function of your eyes.

This allows us to detect even subtle changes and determine the most effective treatment approach. If a procedure is recommended, we will explain your options clearly, including the benefits, expectations, and next steps. Our goal is to ensure you feel informed and confident in your care plan.
