Glaucoma

Glaucoma Exams and Treatment at Kahala Eye Clinic

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of vision loss worldwide, and it often progresses silently without symptoms. At Kahala Eye Clinic, we offer comprehensive glaucoma exams and cutting-edge treatments to help manage this condition and protect your sight.

What Is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma occurs when the optic nerve is damaged, often due to increased pressure in the eye. Over time untreated glaucoma can result in gradual vision loss. There are many types of glaucoma. Below are some of the common types of glaucoma:

• Open-angle glaucoma: The most common form of glaucoma. The eye pressure is high and glaucoma damage occurs.

• Low-tension glaucoma: Glaucoma damage occurs with normal eye pressure.

• Angle-closure glaucoma: A more acute and painful form of glaucoma that requires immediate treatment.
  
  

By detecting glaucoma early, we can provide early treatments to prevent vision loss. Book your glaucoma eye exam at Kahala Eye Clinic to safeguard your vision.
