Glaucoma one of a range of eye conditions needing attention Continued from page 13
The sneaky thing about the usual type of glaucoma (“open angle�) we see in Canada, is that it can be present without symptoms. Significant vision loss can occur before an individual realizes that something is amiss. So what do we do to prevent vision loss due to glaucoma?
First, a diagnosis needs to made. Regular assessments with your eye care provider are your first line of defence. This is especially important if there are risk factors such as family history or you are of an age greater than 55 years. Should a diagnosis of glaucoma be made, there are three categories of treatment available. Eye
drops are usually the first treatment choice. Fortunately there is a good armamentarium of medications available to help control most situations. If the drops are not doing an adequate job, laser treatment is often considered for more effective control. In a situation where the combination of drops and laser does not control
the problem, a variety of surgical procedures exists to help. Fortunately the large majority of patients with glaucoma maintain adequate control of their disease with one or more of the above therapies. As emphasis on health promotion increases, seniors need to be proactive about all aspects
of their health and wellbeing, eye health included. Be sure to maintain regular evaluations with your eye care provider. If glaucoma is found, early treatment and faithful followup bring control in the majority of cases. If you experience any changes in your sight, seek help right away.
