What is a Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease that damages the optic nerve — often due to increased pressure inside the eye. Because it develops gradually and without pain, many patients don’t realize they have it until noticeable vision loss occurs.
Regular eye exams are critical for early detection and prevention of irreversible damage.
Advanced Diagnostic Technology
At MiVision, we use precise, non-invasive tools to detect glaucoma in its earliest stages:
-
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) – captures high-resolution scans of the optic nerve and retinal nerve fiber layer.
-
Visual Field Testing – measures and monitors your peripheral (side) vision over time.
-
Tonometry – safely measures intraocular pressure for accurate diagnosis and monitoring.
These tools allow Dr. Mihlstin to identify subtle changes and create tailored treatment plans to maintain long-term eye health.
Glaucoma Treatment Options at MiVision
Our goal is to lower eye pressure and prevent further optic nerve damage using proven, modern treatments such as:
-
Prescription Eye Drops – reduce eye pressure effectively and safely.
-
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) – a quick, in-office laser procedure that helps fluid drain naturally.
-
Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) – often performed during cataract surgery for long-term control.
With MiVision’s technology and experience, we help you maintain clear, comfortable vision through every stage of care.
