We offer glaucoma care options, including laser and surgical treatment options in Vallejo. Led by our board-certified ophthalmologist, Dr. Anthony Agadzi, our goal is to manage your condition with early detection, ongoing support, and a care plan built around your needs.
Protect Your Vision with Long-Term Glaucoma Care
Spotting Glaucoma Early Can Save Your Sight
Glaucoma occurs when pressure inside the eye damages the optic nerve.
It usually develops slowly and without noticeable symptoms, making early diagnosis essential. Without treatment, glaucoma can lead to gradual loss of peripheral vision and, eventually, total vision loss.
Glaucoma Treatment Options We Offer at Redwood Eye Center
We provide a range of in-office solutions tailored to each patient’s condition and lifestyle:
Prescription Eye Drops: Topical medications that reduce intraocular pressure and help prevent further optic nerve damage.
SLT (Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty): A gentle laser procedure that lowers eye pressure by improving fluid drainage.
iStent®: A microscopic implant used to help control pressure, often placed during cataract surgery.
These treatments are often most effective when started early, before vision loss occurs. That’s why routine eye exams and early diagnosis are central to our glaucoma care strategy.
Surgical Glaucoma Treatments
When medications and laser therapies are no longer enough, glaucoma surgery may be necessary to protect your vision and control intraocular pressure.
We offer a full spectrum of surgical options, including:
Minimally-Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS): These modern procedures use microscopic incisions and certain implants to enhance fluid drainage with faster recovery and fewer complications.
Traditional Surgeries: Techniques like trabeculectomy and tube shunts remain the gold standard for more progressed or uncontrolled glaucoma.
Combined Cataract-Glaucoma Surgery: For patients with both conditions, we often perform a single, streamlined procedure that addresses both at once for optimal outcomes.
Every surgical plan begins with a comprehensive consultation, which includes an evaluation of the optic nerve, visual field testing, and pressure assessment. From pre-op to post-op care, our team will support you every step of the way, ensuring your comfort, safety, and long-term eye health.
Laser Treatments for Comprehensive Eye Care
We offer a range of laser procedures beyond glaucoma treatment. These non-invasive therapies support better outcomes across a wide variety of conditions, and include:
Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) for glaucoma
YAG Laser Capsulotomy for after-cataract clouding
YAG Laser Iridotomy for narrow angle glaucoma
Additional laser treatments for various eye health needs
Our laser surgeon uses modern diagnostic tools and technology to ensure safe, effective care. We are committed to delivering exceptional results with each treatment.
Collaborative, Ongoing Management
Glaucoma is a chronic condition that requires long-term monitoring.
Our optometrists and ophthalmologist work together to manage your care through visual field testing, OCT imaging, and regular pressure checks, so you receive complete, coordinated care from a team you trust.
Education & Support, Every Step of the Way
We help you understand your diagnosis and treatment options so you feel confident in your care. Our multilingual team (Spanish, Portuguese and Russian) ensures clear communication throughout your journey because managing glaucoma shouldn’t feel overwhelming.
