Eye Specialist Laingsburg MI, Dr. Marsha Brandon, treats eye care patients with glaucoma, and fading peripheral vision. There several types of glaucoma; including late onset glaucoma, affecting older adults. . During a routine eye exam, optic nerves are observed to determine vision range and eye pressure. Nerve damage results from a sudden spike in pressure as fluid builds between the iris and cornea. Glaucoma builds gradually, without pain. Modern glaucoma treatment can slow down approaching blindness, but not reverse it. Damaged nerves can be detected with routine exams, which is critical in early diagnosis of glaucoma, when it is in its most treatable stages. Glaucoma treatments include eye drops to control the pressure in the eye, and eye surgery. Untreated, glaucoma eventually leads to erosion of peripheral vision, leaving just a small field of vision in the middle. Contact Dr. Marsha Brandon's Laingsburg MI optometry practice today.
