Cataracts & Glaucoma

A complimentary lunch and learn program for members hosted by Eye Consultants of PA

As we age, glaucoma and cataract are two of the words we often hear regarding our eyesight. Glaucoma is the name for a group of eye diseases which, in most cases, produces increased pressure within the eye. Left untreated, it’s one of the leading causes of blindness and the leading cause of preventable blindness. A cataract is one of the most often diagnosed eye conditions, particularly as we get older.
Fortunately, both glaucoma and cataract usually respond well to treatment, including medications, the latest minimally invasive techniques and advanced laser treatments. But early detection, diagnosis and treatment are key to preserving your sight. And that’s one reason why regular eye exams are so important, particularly as we get older.

So what can you do? Join one of the foremost experts in the field, Dr. Abhishek K. Nemani to learn about your options and the latest science.

High blood pressure is an easy disease to overlook. There are often no visible signs or physical symptoms. Because of this, it’s important to have your blood pressure checked and tracked on a regular basis.
