Glaucoma Detection and Care in Wasilla

Glaucoma damages the optic nerve, often from rising pressure inside the eye. Most people feel nothing until side vision is already gone. Once vision is lost to glaucoma, it does not come back.

The good news is that finding glaucoma early and treating the pressure can stop the damage from going further.

A glaucoma evaluation goes beyond a routine exam. Dr. Angeles checks eye pressure, looks at the optic nerve, images its layers, and tests your side vision. Together these point to whether glaucoma is present and how active it is.

If glaucoma runs in your family, or you are over 60, we recommend asking about screening at your next visit.

Most glaucoma is managed long-term with eye drops, laser, or both. Dr. Angeles co-manages glaucoma with local ophthalmologists, so your day-to-day monitoring stays close to home in the Mat-Su Valley.

You see the same doctor each visit. We track your pressure and your optic nerve over time, and we adjust care when the numbers change.
