What are the Different Types of Glaucoma
Angle Closure Glaucoma
• Sudden blurred vision
• Reddening of the Eye
• The patient may see rainbow colored rings or halos around lights
• Headaches
• Nausea that may lead to vomiting accompanied by severe eye pain
• The onset of visual disturbances, often in low light conditions
Open Angle Glaucoma
By far the most common form of glaucoma, this version accounts for up to 90% of all instances. When the drainage channels, also referred to as the trabecular meshwork become partially blocked, the aqueous humor fluid is drained from the eye and cycles at too slow a rate. This form of glaucoma can be very slow to develop so patients may not be aware of its slow onset. Often symptoms may not reveal themselves until the disease has progressed. Some common symptoms are:
- A gradual loss of the patient’s peripheral vision, often in both eyes
- In very advanced stages the patient will experience tunnel vision
A Few Words From Our Customers
Dr. Ramchander has got to be one of the best eye doctors in Florida by far! He diagnosed me with macular degeneration and has been able to return my vision to nearly perfect in both eyes. I continue to be monitored on a 3 mo. basis and I’m absolutely confident in his abilities and extremely happy with his care. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
Why Choose Ram Eye Care and Retina Center to Treat Your Glaucoma?
When vision loss has occurred it can’t restore, but we can prevent future vision loss with detection and treatment. Once diagnosed with glaucoma it’s imperative that you manage this disease with your doctor. This will be a lifelong process and requires regular examinations, every 3 to 6 months. It’s important to schedule these regular visits as you may not experience symptoms and only your doctor can determine the state of the disease. Dr. Ramchander and his staff are ready to provide a level of personal care you will find unique and refreshing. At Ram Eye Care and Retina Center, we take a personal approach to every patient’s condition, and we will inform you throughout your treatment.
