Optic Nerve and Glaucoma: Time for a Paradigm Shift
Why is glaucoma still causing blindness—even when eye pressure looks normal?
For decades, treatment has focused on lowering intraocular pressure (IOP). But as science advances, we now know glaucoma is about much more than pressure alone.
In this video, Dr. Keshav Narain, board-certified ophthalmologist and founder of South Bay Retina, explains how the future of glaucoma care is shifting toward protecting the optic nerve itself. He discusses innovative tools like electrophysiology, microperimetry, and selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) that are helping patients preserve sight earlier and more effectively.
What You’ll Learn:
✅ Why glaucoma can progress even with “normal” eye pressure
✅ How new technologies reveal damage before it shows up on standard tests
✅ The role of SLT as a pressure-independent treatment option
✅ Why protecting the optic nerve—not just lowering pressure—is key to preventing blindness
Glaucoma doesn’t have to steal your vision.
Understanding new approaches can help you take action before it’s too late.
