Glaucoma Prevention

Glaucoma is a serious eye disease that can lead to blindness if it's not treated. At North Bay Optometric Vision Center in Rohnert Park, CA, we can provide treatment that can help reduce the risk of glaucoma and preserve your vision. Before you visit us, learn more about how glaucoma can be prevented below!

What Causes Glaucoma?

Glaucoma can develop when the pressure in your eyes is too high. Most of the time the disease does not cause any symptoms until you begin to lose vision, which is why it’s important to receive regular eye exams. With an exam, our optometrists can detect any problems early and provide prompt treatment.

Can Glaucoma be Prevented?

While glaucoma cannot be prevented completely, taking care of your health can help. When you manage high blood pressure, stay active, avoid smoking, and maintain a healthy weight, you'll lower your risk for the disease. Along with that, our optometrists can help monitor your eyes with regular screenings.

How Our Optometrists Can Help

Even though there is no cure for glaucoma, treatment is available. Our optometrists may use eye drops, medication, or even perform surgery to preserve your vision. The best way to find out whether you're at risk of glaucoma and is to receive routine eye exams and treatment that can keep your eye health in good condition.
