WHAT
IS GLAUCOMA?
Glaucoma
is a potentially blinding disease that affects an estimated
2 million Americans. It is referred to as the "sneak
thief of sight" because most people who have the disease
do not notice any symptoms until they experience substantial
loss of vision. The Glaucoma Division
at the New Jersey Medical School is dedicated to preventing
blindness from glaucoma. Our
Glaucoma Diagnostic Laboratory
uses the latest technologies for the early diagnosis
and monitoring of glaucoma, including advanced
imaging technology to study the structure of the
optic nerve and the latest visual function tests to
monitor the progression of the disease. We are involved
in laboratory and clinical studies to improve the results
of medical and surgical therapy of glaucoma. In particular,
we offer the latest medical or surgical treatments for
patients with complicated glaucoma or for those who
have had unsuccessful surgery.
