Glaucoma Management

Glaucoma is an eye disease that may cause loss of vision when the pressure within the eye becomes too high and damages the nerve fiber layers that surround the optic nerve.  Often called the “silent thief of sight”, glaucoma can have no noticeable symptoms until 80% of your vision is lost.  At Family Eye Care Dr Kvitle manages glaucoma with various medications and if surgery is required he makes the appropriate referrals to a Glaucoma Specialist for treatment
