Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, often due to increased intraocular pressure. Early detection and treatment are crucial to preventing vision loss, making regular eye exams essential for maintaining eye health.

Protect Your Vision

Glaucoma occurs from damage to the eye’s optic nerve and can often lead to loss of vision and blindness. To detect glaucoma, our highly trained doctors will perform a proper screening to determine severity, examine the damage, and help you manage your glaucoma. Early detection of glaucoma is crucial in preventing vision loss and blindness; the earlier the better. However, there is no official cure for glaucoma. There are several treatment methods that manage, slow down, or halt the process. Treatment for glaucoma will vary depending on the stage and severity for each individual patient.

Frame Bar. Co Service

Glaucoma Treatment in Oceanside, NY

Glaucoma is a serious eye condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Often referred to as the "silent thief of sight," it can lead to irreversible vision loss if not detected and treated early. At Frame Bar. Co, we specialize in glaucoma diagnosis and management, providing our patients with the care and expertise needed to protect their vision.

Symptoms of Glaucoma

In its early stages, glaucoma may not present noticeable symptoms. However, as the disease progresses, you may experience:


  • Loss of peripheral vision
  • Blurred or hazy vision
  • Difficulty adjusting to darkness
  • Seeing halos around lights
  • Eye pain or headache (more common in angle-closure glaucoma)


Early detection through regular eye exams is crucial for managing glaucoma effectively.

Comprehensive Glaucoma Evaluation

At Frame Bar. Co, we provide thorough glaucoma evaluations to assess your eye health. Our evaluation process includes:

  • Comprehensive Eye Exam

    A detailed examination to check for signs of glaucoma.

  • Intraocular Pressure Measurement

    Using tonometry to measure the pressure inside your eyes.

  • Visual Field Testing

    Assessing peripheral vision to detect any loss.

  • Optic Nerve Evaluation

    Examining the optic nerve for damage using specialized imaging technology.

Personalized Treatment Options

If diagnosed with glaucoma, our team will work closely with you to create a personalized treatment plan. Treatment options may include:


  • Prescription Eye Drops: To reduce eye pressure and protect the optic nerve.
  • Oral Medications: To decrease intraocular pressure when eye drops are insufficient.
  • Laser Treatment: Procedures such as laser trabeculoplasty to improve fluid drainage.
  • Surgery: In advanced cases, surgical options may be necessary to create a new drainage pathway.

Preventing Glaucoma

Preventing glaucoma involves proactive measures to maintain eye health. Regular comprehensive eye exams are crucial, especially if you have a family history of the condition. Knowing your risk factors, such as age and medical history, can help in early detection. Additionally, adopting a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, can contribute to overall eye health. Wearing protective eyewear during activities that could cause injury also plays a vital role in preventing eye damage. Stay informed and proactive about your eye care!

What Our Customers Are Saying About Us

I had a great experience at Frames.co when I needed to fill my 3 year old's prescription for his first pair of glasses. Having never worn glasses ourselves, my husband and I needed to be educated on options for frames and lenses, specifically for children. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly and they allowed my son to try on a bunch of styles before he picked his favorite pair. They even threw in a free year-long protection warranty as a thank you for being new customers. The glasses were ready in less than a week and my son has been obsessed with them ever since.

CLIENT REVIEW

The staff at Frame Bar Co were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. This was my first pair of glasses. Daniel was so helpful and made the process seamless and fun. He helped me pick out a pair of glasses that suited my style. Dr. Calderon was extremely knowledgeable and performed my eye exam. He corrected an error made by a previous optometrist at another practice. Liz was also very helpful. She called me to let me know when my glasses were ready for pick up. The team has excellent communication and I would highly recommend them to anyone needing an eye exam or new glasses!
