For patients with glaucoma, Duke's specialists excel in delivering the most advanced treatments available, including canaloplasty and all other forms of laser or incisional surgery.
Duke is dedicated to excellence in diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma, a disease that causes damage to the optic nerve and results in vision loss, and in some cases, blindness.
Glaucoma is the most common cause of permanent blindness in the world today. There are more than two million people with glaucoma in the United States and 70 million worldwide.
In most cases, there are no symptoms other than vision loss, which frequently goes undetected until late in the disease's course.
There is no treatment for vision loss -- however, glaucoma can be successfully controlled in most cases through the use of non-invasive medicines (eye drops), laser treatment, or surgery.
