What is a Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease that damages the optic nerve — often caused by increased pressure inside the eye. It typically develops slowly and without pain, meaning many patients don’t realize they have it until vision loss has already begun.

Routine eye exams are crucial for early detection and prevention of irreversible damage.

Advanced Diagnostic Technology

At MiVision, we use cutting-edge diagnostic technology to detect glaucoma early and monitor it with precision:

  • Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): provides detailed scans of the optic nerve and retinal nerve fiber layer.

  • Visual Field Testing: measures your peripheral vision to track subtle changes.

  • Tonometry: quickly and comfortably measures intraocular pressure.

This allows Dr. Mihlstin to diagnose glaucoma early and develop a personalized plan to manage it effectively.

Glaucoma Treatment Options

Our treatments focus on lowering eye pressure and protecting your optic nerve from further damage. Options may include:

  • Prescription Eye Drops to reduce pressure inside the eye.

  • Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) — a safe, in-office laser treatment that improves fluid drainage.

  • Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) — often performed during cataract surgery for long-term pressure control.

MiVision combines advanced technology with compassionate, patient-centered care — helping you maintain clear, healthy vision.
