Our goal is simple and critical: protect your vision, slow disease progression, and preserve quality of life through early detection and personalized care.

Glaucoma is a chronic eye condition that often develops without noticeable symptoms. With timely diagnosis and modern treatment options, most patients can successfully manage glaucoma and maintain functional vision for life.

What Is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, most often due to elevated or poorly regulated eye pressure. Because vision loss from glaucoma is permanent, early detection and consistent treatment are essential.

Many patients are unaware they have glaucoma until vision loss has already begun. This is why regular eye exams and advanced diagnostic testing play such a vital role in protecting long-term sight.

Why Early Glaucoma Care Matters

Without treatment, glaucoma can lead to progressive and irreversible vision loss. With proper care, however, most patients are able to:

Preserve peripheral and central vision
Maintain independence and daily function
Avoid or delay surgical intervention
Protect long-term eye healthList item

At Precision Eye andamp; Laser, we focus on early intervention, ongoing monitoring, and individualized treatment planning to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Advanced Glaucoma Testing andamp; Diagnosis

Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective glaucoma care. Dr. Steinberg uses advanced diagnostic technology to evaluate:

Intraocular eye pressure
Optic nerve structure
Visual field changes
Corneal thickness and anatomy

These detailed measurements allow us to detect glaucoma earlier, monitor subtle changes over time, and adjust treatment before meaningful vision loss occurs.

Personalized Glaucoma Treatment Options

Every patient’s glaucoma is different. Treatment is tailored based on disease type, severity, eye anatomy, and lifestyle considerations.

Medication Management

Prescription eye drops are often the first step in controlling eye pressure and slowing disease progression. When effective and well tolerated, medications can successfully manage glaucoma for many patients.

Laser Glaucoma Procedures

Laser treatments may be recommended when medications are insufficient or not well tolerated. These procedures are typically quick, performed in the office or outpatient setting, and designed to improve eye fluid drainage or reduce pressure.

Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS)

For appropriate candidates, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery offers an effective option to lower eye pressure with a strong safety profile. MIGS procedures are often performed at the time of cataract surgery and can:

Reduce dependence on glaucoma medications
Improve long-term pressure control
Preserve healthy eye tissue

Dr. Steinberg carefully evaluates candidacy to determine whether MIGS is appropriate for each patient.

A Thoughtful, Long-Term Approach to Care

Glaucoma is a lifelong condition that requires ongoing management. Dr. Steinberg takes a proactive, personalized approach—monitoring progression closely and adjusting treatment as needed to protect vision over time.

Patients benefit from:

Continuity of care with the same physician
