  1. What Is the Best Glaucoma Treatment OKC Are you searching for glaucoma treatment OKC? The doctors at BVA have years of experience treating glaucoma and use the best treatment method for each patient. The best treatment will depend on the severity of the condition and the patient’s ability to tolerate treatment. Whether you require a minimally invasive medical procedure or surgery, our team will go the extra mile to preserve your vision. What Is Glaucoma? Glaucoma is a degenerative condition that damages the optic nerve. Treating glaucoma with eye drops is possible, but many people eventually need an eye surgeon OKC. There are two common types of glaucoma: open-angle glaucoma and angle-closure glaucoma. Angle-closure glaucoma is more likely to create vision problems early in its onset. Choosing Glaucoma Treatment OKC Fortunately, treatments for glaucoma have advanced over the years, and Dr. Britton and the team that stay up-to-date on the latest research. Here are some of the best treatment options available Durysta One of the newest ways to treat glaucoma, Durysta, is a small biodegradable implant that releases medication directly to the eye, removing the need for eye drops. Used for open-angle glaucoma, Durysta is beneficial for many people with trouble applying eye drops. MIGS Micro invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) includes five different procedures that are less invasive than traditional surgery: Trabectome® - Useful for open-angle glaucoma. ● Ab-Interno Canaloplasty (ABiC) - Can be done at the same time as cataract surgery. ● Gonio-Assisted Transluminal Trabeculectomy (GATT) - This is beneficial for juvenile and open-angle glaucoma. ● CyPASS - Insurance will often cover this to be done simultaneously with cataract surgery. ● iStent - This implant is small and low-risk for the patient. ● Laser There are two common laser surgeries:

Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty - This is perfect for open-angle glaucoma and useful when older ALT surgeries have failed. ● Cyclophotocoagulation - With this procedure, the laser reduces pressure in the eye. ● Incisional Surgery A tube shunt is a more invasive procedure where the surgeon places the tube to drain fluid. It may be the best treatment when others are likely to fail, or the patient has scar tissue. Choosing an Eye Surgeon OKC No matter your condition, our surgeons are proven leaders in their field.
