Glaucoma Information from Dr. Khanna

Serving Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Santa Barbara, Ventura and Surrounding Orange County Areas

Around 2 million Americans suffer from glaucoma, a disease of the optic nerve, and about eighty thousand of those cases resulted in loss of vision. This eye disease typically strikes men and women over 60, but it can happen at an early age as well.

Because the disease does not often show signs prior to loss of vision, it is strongly suggested that patients undergo annual eye exams that include glaucoma testing at our Ventura office or one of our other Orange County locations.

If glaucoma is detected, a personalized treatment plan will be developed to prevent loss of vision. Treatment can be as simple as administering eye drops or as extensive as laser surgery at one of our Orange County offices. Glaucoma development may be genetic, so be aware if you have a family history of the disease. Diabetes may also be a contributing factor in the development of glaucoma.

"Initially I was a little skeptical and scared but now I am extremely pleased with the improvement in vision. Thank you Dr. Khanna and Staff."
