Parkhurst NuVision World Class Treatment for GLAUCOMA.

Good News For People in San Antonio with Glaucoma!

A revolutionary surgical treatment for glaucoma is now available for patients who find daily eye drop treatment inconvenient. The iStent was recently approved by the FDA for treatment of mild and moderate glaucoma, and in clinical trials was found to be an effective treatment that resulted in significantly less need for use of daily eye drops to treat glaucoma. Similar to cardiac stents used in patients with heart problems, the iStent opens pressure drainage channels in the eye, permanently treating glaucoma.
The iStent is the smallest implantable device ever approved by the FDA for implantation anywhere in the human body.

Common Questions About Glaucoma:

Is Glaucoma Painful?
No. Glaucoma is typically not painful, except for in severe or advanced cases.

How do I prevent Glaucoma?

Having an eye exam early in the disease process and getting proper treatment is the best way to prevent vision loss from glaucoma. In this regard, glaucoma is similar to high blood pressure: when treated, complications can often times be prevented.

Is Glaucoma Hereditary or Does Glaucoma run in families?
Yes, one of the most important risk factors for glaucoma is having a family member with the disease.

What causes high eye pressure?
The front part of our eyes is bathed in a clear fluid called aqueous humor. This fluid is constantly being produced and recycled providing nutrition to microscopic parts or our eye's anatomy, and there is an intricate balance of fluid production and drainage, which defines our intraocular pressure. It's easy to think about if you compare the front part of your eye to a kitchen sink. If the faucet is on too high, or the drain is not draining properly, more water is collected and stored. In the case of the eye, this causes pressure to elevate. High eye pressure is typically caused by too much aqueous humor production, or more commonly, a problem with the eye's drain.

Several treatment options are now available to permanently treat the disease. During and after treatment, glaucoma requires permanent monitoring and surveillance because, unlike cataracts, there is no cure at this time.
