Treatment Options for Glaucoma and Which Is Right for You

Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease that gets worse over time. As it becomes worse, the optic nerve may become damaged, which impairs vision.

This is the ideal pressure that will form the basis of the treatment. 


Candidates for a Corneal Transplant

The Cornea Research Foundation of America recommends a corneal transplant to patients with specific needs. It encourages patients to have a comprehensive eye exam to determine the extent of the corneal damage. The condition of your cornea will determine if you are a candidate for a corneal transplant.

Diagnosing and Treating Keratoconus

Vision is achieved through the cornea. This is the clear central area of the front of your eye. It is the round-shaped ball-like part of the eye. In some instances, the structure of the cornea becomes weak and cannot hold the round shape. In time, this can result in the conventional round curvature of the eyes’ surface bulging outward. This is the condition known as keratoconus.
