This case involves an elderly patient diagnosed with glaucoma, which was detected during a routine eye exam. The patient had elevated intraocular pressure, posing a risk for vision loss.
The treatment plan included prescription eye drops to lower eye pressure and regular monitoring. The patient was educated about the importance of adherence to the treatment regimen.
After several months of treatment, follow-up examinations showed a significant reduction in eye pressure, stabilizing the patient's condition and preventing further damage to the optic nerve.
This case underscores the importance of early detection and consistent management in preventing vision loss due to glaucoma.
