Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can damage the optic nerve — often due to elevated pressure inside the eye — and, if left untreated, may lead to permanent vision loss. Because early stages frequently have no symptoms, regular comprehensive eye exams are essential to detect glaucoma before vision is affected.
At Harman Eye Center, we use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and personalized care plans to diagnose and manage glaucoma effectively. Our goal is to preserve your vision by lowering intraocular pressure and slowing disease progression through proactive, evidence-based treatment.
Our glaucoma evaluation includes a complete eye exam with specialized testing to assess pressure inside the eye, analyze the optic nerve, and monitor visual fields. Detecting changes early allows us to begin treatment before significant sight loss occurs.
Our experienced eye care professionals focus on early detection and customized treatment plans tailored to your eye health needs. We emphasize patient education, ongoing monitoring, and coordinated care to help you manage glaucoma over the long term. Early and consistent care can slow or prevent further vision loss.

Prescription medications are often the first line of treatment for glaucoma and are used to help lower pressure inside the eye and protect the optic nerve. These treatments may include topical eye drops, ointments, or medicated inserts, depending on the type and severity of glaucoma. Glaucoma medications work by either reducing the amount of fluid produced in the eye or improving fluid drainage to relieve pressure.
Your eye care provider will carefully select and adjust medications to create a treatment plan that is effective, manageable, and tailored to your individual eye health needs.

Laser therapy: Procedures that improve fluid drainage from the eye.
Surgical solutions: For advanced cases or when medications are insufficient, minimally invasive or traditional glaucoma surgery may be recommended to further lower intraocular pressure.
All surgical treatments are performed at our dedicated Harman Eye Surgery Center, providing modern facilities and compassionate care without the need for a hospital visit.
