Glaucoma
is one of the leading causes of blindness in the United States,
and it can affect people of all ages and races. The eye's optic
nerve becomes damaged in patients with glaucoma. Optic nerve damage
caused by glaucoma is most often associated with high levels of
intraocular eye pressure. This can occur when fluid in the eye drains
too slowly or when the eye's drainage canals become blocked. Many
glaucoma medications and procedures aim to lower intraocular pressure
in order to stop glaucoma's progression. If you are diagnosed with
glaucoma, Dr. Perrone can help you formulate a treatment plan that
may include medication, eye surgery, or both. Dr. Perrone has years
of experience in performing glaucoma procedures. Please contact
him today.
A
cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye that can lead to vision
loss. Although cataracts can occur in younger people, they are most
common among people over the age of 65. Fortunately, cataract surgery
is a relatively simple procedure that Dr. Perrone can use to help
restore vision in cataract patients. In cataract surgery, a tiny
incision is made in the eye and ultrasound is used to break up the
cataract. The cataract is then gently suctioned out. A clear plastic
intraocular lens (IOL) is then inserted into the eye. The IOL takes
the place of the natural, cloudy lens and allows the patient to
see clearly. Cataract surgery is an outpatient procedure that has
restored the vision of many people. In fact, it is the most commonly
performed surgical procedure in the United States. Dr. Perrone has
been performing cataract surgery for many years. Please contact
him today.
