Understanding Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that damages the optic nerve — often due to elevated eye pressure. Because it develops slowly and painlessly, many people don’t realize they have it until vision loss has already occurred.
Routine eye exams are the best way to catch glaucoma early and prevent permanent damage.
Advanced Diagnostic Technology
At MiVision, our technology helps detect glaucoma even before symptoms appear. This includes:
-
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) — provides detailed images of the optic nerve and retinal nerve fiber layer.
-
Visual Field Testing — tracks changes in your side vision over time.
-
Tonometry — measures intraocular pressure quickly and comfortably.
These tools allow Dr. Mihlstin to accurately diagnose glaucoma and monitor your condition at each visit.
Glaucoma Treatment Options at MiVision
Our goal is to protect your vision through early detection and personalized care. Depending on your glaucoma type and stage, treatment may include:
-
Prescription Eye Drops to lower eye pressure.
-
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) — a quick, in-office laser procedure that improves drainage and can reduce the need for drops.
-
Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) — often combined with cataract surgery for long-term control.
Dr. Mihlstin will recommend the best option for your eyes and lifestyle, ensuring long-term comfort and clarity.
