glaucoma is key for preventing vision loss. Key-Whitman
offers a wide range of treatments to keep intraocular pres-
sure (IOP) at a healthy level.
The primary objective of glaucoma treatment is to lower
IOP. Secondarily, there are some treatments available that
may help improve circulation. Most patients respond posi-
tively to glaucoma eye drops, but other forms of treatment
are available, depending on the patient’s needs.
According to Dr. Barke, “We can use a laser to open the
outflow channels to help manage pressure or perform sur-
gery to reroute fluid in the eye so it drains more easily.
Some new glaucoma treatment research also shows prom-
ise, including a procedure where a tiny pellet implanted in
the eye delivers a sustained dose of glaucoma medication.
This treatment will be effective for patients, because they
won’t have to remember to take eye drops anymore.”
