Glaucoma Management
Welcome to Eye Care Consultants, where we specialize in the management of glaucoma using the latest advancements in minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS).
Our team of skilled ophthalmologists is dedicated to providing personalized care to help patients maintain healthy vision and quality of life.
Overview
Glaucoma is a progressive eye condition characterized by damage to the optic nerve, often resulting from elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) offers a less invasive alternative to traditional glaucoma surgeries, with the goal of reducing IOP and slowing disease progression.
Symptoms
Glaucoma is often referred to as the “silent thief of sight” because it typically develops without noticeable symptoms until significant vision loss occurs. However, individuals with glaucoma may experience peripheral vision loss, blurred vision, halos around lights, and eye pain or redness in advanced stages.
Common Treatments
MIGS procedures aim to enhance the natural drainage pathways within the eye to reduce IOP and control glaucoma progression. Common MIGS procedures include trabecular micro-bypass stents, suprachoroidal shunts, and endocyclophotocoagulation (ECP).
