Protect Your Sight from Vision Loss Due to Glaucoma

Glaucoma is one of the main causes of blindness. Essentially, glaucoma causes damage to the optic nerve. Increased ocular pressure is one of the main symptoms of glaucoma. If left untreated, peripheral vision will decrease, resulting in eventual blindness. Vision loss from glaucoma cannot be restored. The main goal of glaucoma treatment is to halt the progression of the disease to prevent damage to your vision.
The Center for Sight offers a variety of safe, effective glaucoma treatment options that will enable you to protect your sight. Dr. Miroya Monsour treats glaucoma patients residing in southwestern Pennsylvania.

Advanced Laser Procedures

● Argon Laser Trabeculoplasty (ALT):Opens the eye’s drainage system to relieve pressure. Quick, virtually painless, in-office procedure (~15 minutes).
● Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT):Uses lower-level energy, preserves more of the drainage tissue, with similar results to ALT.
● Laser Peripheral Iridotomy (LPI):Creates a small opening in the iris for patients with angle-closure glaucoma, bypassing the trabecular meshwork entirely.

Glaucoma Treatment Options: Eye Drops, Medication and Surgery

The severity of your glaucoma will dictate the best types of treatment for your condition. Some of the most common treatment options include:

Medications to Control Eye Pressure by Decreasing Fluid Production

Eye Drops to Control Eye Pressure

Laser Surgery

With proper professional care and treatment, we can treat glaucoma successfully and spare its impact on your sight.
The trabecular meshwork located at the base of the cornea allows the aqueous humor to drain from the eye. The goal of surgery for glaucoma is to open up this meshwork to create alternate exit points in the eye. This encourages excessive fluids to drain from the eye to relieve intraocular pressure.
