The UCSF Glaucoma Clinic offers sophisticated diagnostic testing and treatment to patients with a poor prognosis for their glaucoma. This includes patients who have previously undergone unsuccessful glaucoma surgery, patients who have vision in only one eye, and patients with secondary glaucoma or advanced glaucomatous optic atrophy.
Our ophthalmologists have expertise in all types of glaucoma: congenital, combined mechanism, narrow-angle, open-angle and normal tension. We have extensive experience with surgically implanted valves for glaucoma and offer new approaches to using these devices. Nonpenetrating glaucoma surgery is also available.
