Скачать или смотреть Dr. Freidl on First Coast Living: What is Glaucoma

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible vision loss worldwide, yet many people remain unaware of its risks and symptoms. In this informative First Coast Living segment, Dr. Kathryn Freidl, a board-certified glaucoma specialist and cataract surgeon in Jacksonville, explains what glaucoma is, how it develops, and why early detection is critical.

Glaucoma damages the optic nerve—often due to elevated intraocular pressure—and progresses without warning signs in its early stages. Dr. Freidl discusses the most common types, including narrow-angle glaucoma and open-angle glaucoma, along with treatment options ranging from eye drops and laser therapy to minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS).

This segment is essential viewing for anyone over 40, those with a family history of glaucoma, or patients with diabetes or high blood pressure.
