Understanding Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a progressive disease that damages the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure inside the eye. Because it develops silently, patients may not notice symptoms until vision loss has already occurred.
Routine eye exams are the best defense for detecting glaucoma early and preventing permanent damage.
Advanced Diagnostic Technology
At MiVision, we use modern tools to detect glaucoma and monitor its progression with precision:
-
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): high-resolution imaging of the optic nerve and retinal nerve fiber layer.
-
Visual Field Testing: tracks changes in peripheral vision to identify early damage.
-
Tonometry: accurately measures intraocular pressure in seconds.
These technologies help Dr. Mihlstin create customized treatment plans designed for long-term eye health.
Glaucoma Treatment Options
Our goal is to lower eye pressure and protect the optic nerve through tailored, evidence-based treatments:
-
Prescription Eye Drops – first-line therapy to control intraocular pressure.
-
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) – a noninvasive laser procedure that enhances fluid drainage.
-
Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) – performed during cataract surgery for lasting results.
At MiVision, patients receive personalized treatment rooted in the latest research and Michigan-trained expertise.
