Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, usually caused by elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). Left untreated, it leads to irreversible vision loss — and eventually blindness.
The challenge? Most types of glaucoma have no early warning signs. That's why regular comprehensive eye exams with a qualified ophthalmologist are your best defense.
Dr. Legarreta offers a full spectrum of proven glaucoma treatments — from conservative management to the latest surgical advances.
First-line treatment to lower intraocular pressure. We prescribe and monitor the latest prostaglandin analogs, beta-blockers, and combination therapies tailored to your specific needs.
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty is a safe, painless in-office procedure that improves fluid drainage from the eye. Often reduces or eliminates the need for daily eye drops.
Micro-incision procedures like iStent and other implants that lower eye pressure with faster recovery and fewer complications than traditional surgery. Often combined with cataract surgery.
State-of-the-art OCT imaging, visual field testing, pachymetry, and gonioscopy provide detailed mapping of your optic nerve and eye pressure — catching changes before vision loss occurs.
Glaucoma is a lifelong condition. We provide regular IOP checks, visual field assessments, and OCT scans to track your disease progression and adjust treatment as needed.
For advanced cases, trabeculectomy and tube shunt procedures create new drainage pathways to lower eye pressure when other treatments haven't achieved target pressure.
When it comes to something as critical as your eyesight, experience and expertise matter.
