Glaucoma

Glaucoma is not just one eye disease but a group of eye conditions resulting in optic nerve damage and gradual loss of sight.  Glaucoma often occurs without any symptoms noticed by the patient; for this reason, it is recommended to have a dilated examination by your ophthalmologist on a regular basis.  Our patients can expect careful diagnostic imaging and treatment for Glaucoma including medical and laser therapy.

Dr. Gilmer will perform a comprehensive eye exam to determine if you have macular degeneration and assess the best management options to help preserve your vision.
