Glaucoma is an eye condition that can cause permanent vision loss, and it’s important to catch it early to prevent any damage. There are many forms of glaucoma, which can be managed with medications, surgery, or laser treatments known as trabeculoplasty.
We perform trabeculoplasty at our Merrillville location, and we’d be happy to walk you through the process to see if the procedure is right for you.
Preserving your sight is our top priority, and our team of experienced doctors and opticians are dedicated to providing the best possible care for your eyes. Please visit our Glaucoma page for more information on this disease and how we can help.
