GLAUCOMA

A comprehensive eye examination is an important part of your preventative health care since many eye and vision conditions present no obvious symptoms. A professional eye health evaluation is also critical to managing other medical conditions that may show symptoms in the eyes, such as high blood pressure and diabetes.

As a board certified ophthalmologist, Dr. Keyhani is specially trained to diagnose many eye diseases before you may have symptoms. This is especially important with diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration where a patient may have the disease for years before finally losing vision.

EXAMINATION FOR GLAUCOMA

Glaucoma can cause blindness if it is left untreated. Only about half of the estimated three million Americans who have glaucoma are even aware that they have the condition. When glaucoma develops, usually you don’t have any early symptoms and the disease progresses slowly. In this way, glaucoma can steal your sight very gradually. Fortunately, early detection and treatment (with glaucoma eyedrops, glaucoma surgery or both) can help preserve your vision. We have the lastest technology in early glaucoma detection and monitoring including the Zeiss Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer and the Cirrus OCT which very few offices offer.
