Glaucoma

With glaucoma, pressure builds up inside the eye. This causes decreased blood flow and damage to the retina (the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye) and the optic nerve (which carries signals from the retina to the brain, where theyre interpreted as visual images). Glaucoma makes the lens of the eye cloudy, which makes it harder to see. At 消消消消消消消娼瞳 Children's, our pediatric ophthalmology (eye care) team can evaluate glaucoma in children of all ages and, if needed, perform pediatric glaucoma surgery even in infants.
