Glaucoma Care for Fontana Patients
You don't have to drive to Los Angeles for subspecialty glaucoma care. Inland Glaucoma Center is a quick drive west in Upland, where UCLA fellowship-trained, board-certified specialists diagnose and treat every type of glaucoma.
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness, and because it usually causes no symptoms until vision is already lost, the right specialist and the right technology matter. For Fontana residents, that expertise is close to home.
Our physicians completed subspecialty training at UCLA's Jules Stein Eye Institute and have collectively performed thousands of glaucoma surgeries and laser procedures. We manage everything from early ocular hypertension to complex and surgical glaucoma, using high-resolution OCT imaging, visual-field testing, and the full range of modern laser and minimally invasive options. Care is available in English and Spanish.

Glaucoma conditions we treat for Fontana patients
We diagnose and manage all forms of glaucoma. These are the conditions Fontana patients most often come to us for:
Open-Angle Glaucoma
The most common type — slow, silent optic-nerve damage detected with OCT and visual-field testing.
Learn more about open-angle glaucoma →Narrow & Angle-Closure Glaucoma
Anterior-segment OCT measures your drainage angle; laser iridotomy prevents dangerous pressure spikes.
Learn more about narrow angles →Normal-Tension Glaucoma
Optic-nerve damage even at “normal” eye pressure, where subtle early changes matter most.
Learn more about normal-tension glaucoma →Ocular Hypertension
Elevated eye pressure without nerve damage — monitored closely to prevent progression to glaucoma.
Learn more about ocular hypertension →Secondary Glaucomas
Pigmentary, pseudoexfoliation, steroid-induced, uveitic, and traumatic glaucoma.
