What is glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases which result in damage to the optic nerve and cause vision loss. It is the second most common cause of preventable vision loss after cataract. There are no early warning signs of glaucoma so it is recommended that everyone is screened for the disease around the age of 45, particularly if you have a family history.
Most of the time glaucoma can be managed with a combination of drops and laser, however, in more resistant cases an operation may be required. Dr Perrott is able to offer all modern glaucoma interventions including micro-stents, tube shunts and laser.
