Advanced Goniotomy Treatment
in Las Vegas
Goniotomy is a highly effective, minimally invasive surgical procedure that lowers intraocular pressure for glaucoma patients in the Las Vegas valley. By creating a precise opening in the natural drainage system of the eye, this outpatient treatment restores healthy fluid outflow to protect your optic nerve from irreversible damage.
Recognizing Glaucoma Symptoms
Glaucoma often develops silently, but early detection is vital for preserving your eyesight. Common symptoms that indicate you need an immediate evaluation include:
Gradual Loss Of Peripheral Or Side Vision
Seeing Halos Around Lights At Night
Severe Eye Pain Or Sudden Headaches
Blurry Or Hazy Vision
What the Treatment Looks Like
The goniotomy procedure takes place in a comfortable outpatient setting and usually lasts less than 30 minutes. Your surgeon uses a specialized microscopic instrument to gently clear away blockages in the trabecular meshwork. This allows built up fluid to drain naturally. Most patients experience a rapid recovery and can often reduce their daily reliance on prescription glaucoma eye drops.
Risks of Going Untreated
Ignoring elevated eye pressure carries severe and permanent consequences. Without timely intervention, untreated glaucoma leads to:
Irreversible damage to the optic nerve
Permanent blind spots in your field of vision
Total and permanent blindness
