What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is an ocular condition where pressure within the eye builds up and damages the optic nerve. Continual damage without intervening in professional treatment can lead to permanent vision loss. It would be best if you visited Queen City Ophthalmology regularly for diagnosis and treatment before glaucoma can cause long-term damage. Dr. VanBrakle can help you determine how often you need to visit our office. With the proper care, your eyes can be made more comfortable, and your vision can improve.
