At Ophthalmologist Miami, Dr. Chad Kaplan is an eye surgeon who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of eye disorders and diseases. Among the most common conditions they address are glaucoma and cataracts. Glaucoma, often referred to as the "silent thief of sight," is a group of eye diseases characterized by damage to the optic nerve, usually due to elevated intraocular pressure. If left untreated, glaucoma can lead to permanent vision loss. Cataracts, on the other hand, involve the clouding of the eye's natural lens, causing blurred vision and eventually hindering daily activities like reading and driving.
For patients diagnosed with glaucoma, ophthalmologists in Miami offer an array of treatment options, ranging from medicated eye drops to laser procedures and surgical interventions. These interventions aim to reduce intraocular pressure, the primary risk factor for optic nerve damage. At Ophthalmologist Miami, we work closely with patients to determine the most suitable treatment approach, taking into consideration factors such as age, medical history, and the severity of the condition.
