| GLAUCOMA IS THE SECOND LEADING CAUSE OF BLINDNESS IN THE U.S. WHY? |

There are no early symptoms you'd notice.
So, on your own, you just can't know - for sure - whether you have glaucoma or not...until irreversible vision loss sets in. Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in the U.S. And the leading cause of preventable blindness.
But it can be treated...if detected early.
The Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study of glaucoma found eye drops that reduce pressure inside the eye - a risk factor for developing open-angle glaucoma - were effective in delaying the onset of the disease by more than 50% and may be effective in preventing it altogether.
Early detection requires advanced instrumentation. At the Glaucoma Center, we have it.
Traditional methods of glaucoma detection may no longer be adequate. Today, corneal pachymetry, nerve fiber layer analysis, and other new diagnostic tools may give doctors the edge in early detection, the very techniques we employ here at The Glaucoma Center in our comprehensive glaucoma exams.
Do you have it?
If you're either over 40, diabetic, or have a family history of glaucoma, and have not been examined with the latest diagnostic tools, you may be at risk.
Call us...please...to schedule a thorough glaucoma exam.
At The Glaucoma Center, it's our mission to...
 Detect those at risk for glaucoma
Protect the vision of those who develop glaucoma
Devise the best treatment for those who develop glaucoma
Turn no one away who needs treatment because of lack of insurance coverage or financial resources
