Brooklyn glaucoma eye doctor. Our optical disease experts at the Brook Plaza Ophthalmology can provide you with the definitive diagnosis and care you need to stop total vision from happening to you.
Glaucoma exists today as the second leading cause of blindness in the United States. This is often due to the simple fact that this destructive optical disease often exists within the eye without showing any known symptoms a patient can see or feel until permanent loss of sight has already begun. Optical disease like glaucoma are one of the many reasons why adults need to be receiving comprehensive eye exams every year of their lives, regardless of the clarity of their vision. Glaucoma is most easily diagnosed by measuring the intraocular pressure in your eye. This number changes from person to person and can even change over time, but can be detected by being higher than usual. The best way to insure a positive diagnosis of glaucoma is to maintain regular visits with
Brooklyn glaucoma eye doctor to insure that your intraocular pressure is well within the range of normal, as well as to simply monitor and subtle changes over time. This disease causes pressure continuously rise overtime, and as it does causes loss of sight on your eye due to rising pressure on the retina.
This disease of the eye is not truly one disease, but is more often a series of conditions that work together to cause total loss of sight. Pressure rises in the eye due to a problem occurring with the fluid inside your eye building up, either from an issue with the mesh network around the surface of the eye, the channel being blocked from drainage by the eye, or in rare cases a problem with fluid production itself.
