Life Time Treatment ?

There is no cure for glaucoma. Ivision experts will advise glaucoma patients to continue the treatment for rest of their life. Because the disease can progress or change without warning, compliance with eye medications and undergoing eye examinations are essential; treatment may need to be adjusted periodically.

Keeping eye pressure under control can slow or stop damage to the optic nerve and continued loss of vision. Your optometrist may focus on lowering the eye pressure to a level that is least likely to cause further optic nerve damage. This level is often referred to as the target pressure and is likely a range rather than a single number. Target pressure differs for each person, depending on the extent of the damage and other factors. Target pressure may change over time. New medications to help fight glaucoma are always being developed. Early detection, prompt treatment and regular monitoring can help to control glaucoma and reduce the chances for vision loss.
