Glaucoma is one of the most dangerous eye conditions, primarily because it has few noticeable symptoms until significant damage has occurred. Consequently, it is crucial that patients with glaucoma or with glaucoma risk factors undergo regular comprehensive eye exams with an ophthalmologist or optometrist. Nearly all comprehensive ophthalmologists and optometrists can evaluate patients for the signs of glaucoma, and those doctors can typically treat early-stage glaucoma through careful monitoring, regular testing and glaucoma medications. However, when glaucoma conditions become more severe or are uncontrolled, treatment by a fellowship-trained glaucoma specialist may be warranted.
Dr. Martin Mizener and Dr. Bruck are Midwest Eye Care ophthalmologists with fellowship training in glaucoma. You may click on their or name for detailed information on them.
