CT Glaucoma Associates

Expert diagnosis, quality care

Glaucoma is pressure-related damage to the optic nerve that requires accurate diagnosis and expert management. With decades of clinical experience and a highly trained staff, we specialize in the effective treatment of adult and adolescent glaucoma.

• 10,000+ In-Office Laser Treatments Performed: Vast experience in SLT, iridotomy, iridoplasty, and cyclophotocoagulation performed safely right in our office.

• Red Eye Resolution: Standard drops often cause chronic redness and irritation. We have specialized expertise in curing red eye by eliminating preservatives, reducing dosing with combination medications, and replacing lubricating drops with hot compresses.

• More Effective, Less Frequent Dosing: By combining up to 3 medicines into 1 or 2 daily drops, we can achieve lower, safer eye pressure while reducing how many times a day you need to take drops.

Your Comprehensive Glaucoma Evaluation

Knowing how much to lower your intraocular pressure depends upon knowing the extent of your optic nerve damage. (For example, if damage is already evident on a visual field test, we generally aim to keep your pressure at 15 or lower).

To map out your personalized treatment plan, we evaluate your condition using seven critical pillars:

1. Intraocular Pressure (utilizing the two most accurate methods)

2. OCT Scans of your nerve fiber layer

3. Visual Field Testing

4. Optic Nerve Contours

5. Corneal Thickness

6. Eyeball Size

7. Family History
