Glaucoma Diagnosis & Management
Early detection and ongoing management of the "silent thief of sight" — pressure testing, visual field analysis, medication, and laser treatment.
Why glaucoma care matters
Glaucoma is a group of conditions that damage the optic nerve, most often from elevated pressure inside the eye. It typically has no symptoms in its early stages and vision lost to glaucoma cannot be recovered — which is why routine screening after age 40, and earlier with a family history, is so important.
Dr. Toppino specializes in the diagnosis and long-term management of glaucoma. Comprehensive evaluation includes intraocular pressure measurement, optic-nerve examination, and visual-field testing to establish a baseline and track any change over time.
Treatment options
Most glaucoma is controlled with prescription eye drops that lower eye pressure. When drops are not enough or are poorly tolerated, in-office laser treatment and surgical options are available. Your doctor will build a treatment plan around your type of glaucoma, your pressure targets, and your lifestyle.
- Intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement and monitoring
- Visual-field testing and optic-nerve imaging
- Prescription eye-drop therapy
- Laser treatment for glaucoma
- Coordination of surgical care when needed
