Glaucoma Screening and Diagnosis
Glaucoma Screening and Diagnosis
Our board-certified ophthalmologists provide comprehensive eye examinations to diagnose and manage all types of glaucoma. Glaucoma is generally classified as open-angle or narrow-angle, and can also be characterized by high-pressure or normal-pressure forms.
Our UCLA fellowship-trained ophthalmologist performs a thorough medical history and detailed eye examination, utilizing the latest imaging technologies and functional testing to deliver an accurate assessment and personalized treatment plan for every patient.
Open Angle Glaucoma
Glaucoma Screening and Diagnosis
Glaucoma Screening and Diagnosis
Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG) is the most common type of glaucoma. In this form, the eye pressure (intraocular pressure) is often—but not always—elevated, gradually damaging the optic nerve over many years. At our center, we use high-resolution spectral-domain OCT imaging, a technology comparable to an MRI of the eye, to capture detailed 3D images of the optic nerve and retina. This advanced imaging is combined with corneal thickness measurement, intraocular pressure testing (IOP), gonioscopy, and visual field analysis to provide a comprehensive and precise glaucoma evaluation.
Narrow Angles
Glaucoma Screening and Diagnosis
Angle Closure Glaucoma
We provide the latest technology for the diagnosis and treatment of narrow-angle glaucoma. Using anterior segment OCT, we can precisely measure the intraocular angle to determine your individual risk for angle-closure disease. This advanced imaging is like an MRI of the front of your eye, but it uses safe, gentle light waves instead of radiation. Your evaluation is combined with gonioscopy, corneal thickness measurement, intraocular pressure testing, and a comprehensive optic nerve assessment for a complete picture of your eye health. When appropriate, we also perform laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) to safely and effectively treat narrow angles.
Angle Closure Glaucoma
Normal Pressure Glaucoma
Angle Closure Glaucoma
Angle-Closure Glaucoma occurs when the eye’s natural drainage angle becomes blocked, leading to a sudden and dangerous rise in eye pressure. Symptoms can include severe eye pain, blurred vision, halos around lights, headache, nausea, and vomiting. This condition is a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment. Prompt care with medications and often laser or surgical procedures is essential to lower the eye pressure and restore normal fluid drainage to protect your vision.
Glaucoma Treatment
Normal Pressure Glaucoma
Normal Pressure Glaucoma
We provide a full spectrum of glaucoma care, from early treatment to advanced surgical options. Our services include Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT), Laser Peripheral Iridotomy (LPI), and a range of prescription eye drop therapies. For patients who require surgical management, we offer minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS) such as canaloplasty, goniotomy, OMNI, Hydrus, iStent, and XEN. When necessary, we also perform trabeculectomy (TRAB) and valve procedures such as the Ahmed valve to help control intraocular pressure and preserve vision.
Normal Pressure Glaucoma
Normal Pressure Glaucoma
Normal Pressure Glaucoma
Normal Tension Glaucoma (NTG), also known as Low-Tension Glaucoma, is a form of glaucoma in which optic nerve damage occurs even though eye pressure is within the normal range. The exact cause is not fully understood, but it is thought to involve poor blood flow to the optic nerve or increased sensitivity of the nerve to normal pressure levels. We provide a comprehensive evaluation using high-resolution OCT imaging, visual field testing, and optic nerve analysis to detect early signs of NPG. Treatment may include medications or laser therapy to further lower eye pressure and protect the optic nerve from progressive damage.
