Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a serious, sight-threatening condition often called the “silent thief of sight” because it typically damages the optic nerve without presenting noticeable symptoms until vision loss is severe. At Optometric Center of Encino, our management strategy is centered on early detection and precise, ongoing monitoring. During every comprehensive eye exam, we use advanced imaging and pressure testing to identify risk factors and diagnose the condition in its earliest, most treatable stages, providing Los Angeles patients with critical peace of mind.
If a diagnosis is made, our experienced optometrists develop a personalized glaucoma management plan aimed at controlling intraocular pressure (IOP) and preventing further optic nerve damage. Treatment may involve prescription eye drops, in-office laser treatments, or coordination with ophthalmological specialists. Through vigilant follow-up appointments and careful monitoring of visual field changes, we work tirelessly to stabilize your condition and preserve your functional vision for the future.
