We provide comprehensive glaucoma screenings, advanced diagnostics, and customized treatment plans to help slow disease progression and preserve vision. Early detection allows effective glaucoma management.

What Is Glaucoma?

Understanding the Silent Thief of Sight

Glaucoma is an eye disease that damages the optic nerve, usually due to increased pressure inside the eye. Left untreated, it can cause peripheral vision loss that may eventually lead to blindness.

Types of Glaucoma

Open Angle Glaucoma

The most common type, developing gradually without noticeable symptoms.

Angle-Closure Glaucoma

A sudden increase in eye pressure that requires immediate treatment.

Normal-Tension Glaucoma

Optic nerve damage still occurs despite the eye pressure being within normal range.

Congenital Glaucoma

A rare form present at birth, requiring early intervention.

Why Glaucoma Treatment Matters

Protect Your Vision

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible vision loss—and it often develops silently. Many people don’t experience symptoms until significant damage has already occurred. That’s why early detection is key.
What to Watch for Before It’s Too Late:

Loss of Peripheral Vision

Often unnoticed at first, this can feel like tunnel vision developing over time.

Blurred or Hazy Vision

Changes in your visual clarity may signal rising eye pressure or optic nerve damage.

Halos Around Lights

Seeing rings or glare around lights—especially at night—can be a subtle warning sign.

Eye Pain or Pressure

Increased pressure inside the eye can lead to discomfort, even without vision changes.

Headaches and Nausea

These symptoms may occur suddenly in acute cases and require immediate attention.

Dr. Bowen is kind, incredibly knowledgeable, and always takes time to fully explain complex issues to me in a manner that is easy to understand. I always enjoy his willingness to answer all of my questions, and I never leave feeling like something may have been missed. I’ve had complex issues with my eyes, and I’ve seen other well known doctors in our area, but I feel that the care I’ve received from Dr. Bowen and his level of expertise is superior. I trust that he has my best interest in mind and that is invaluable. He gives me information on warning signs to watch for and goes above and beyond to make sure my vision is protected. If you want a thorough eye exam that goes beyond what many offices do, schedule an appointment with Dr. Bowen.
