Glaucoma Treatment
in Salt Lake City, Utah

Don’t let the silent thief of sight sneak up on you: Standard Optical is here to catch glaucoma as early as possible, slowing its progression to preserve your clear eyesight for years to come.

What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a common eye disease that can lead to vision loss or blindness — if not treated properly and early. Intraocular pressure (IOP) builds within the eye, which can damage the optic nerve.

Most symptoms won’t appear until irreversible vision loss has occurred, including blind spots, halos around lights, eye pain, redness, and headaches. If you’re over 60; black, Asian, or Hispanic; have a family history of glaucoma; or have certain medical conditions, you’re at higher risk.

What Causes Glaucoma?

Glaucoma results from abnormally high IOP, which can be caused by excessive fluid production, poor drainage, eye trauma, and certain medications. Increased IOP can damage the optic nerve, which sends what you see to your brain. There is no “cure” for glaucoma — but our highly trained doctors can slow or stop its progression with the help of our advanced equipment and treatment options.

We Can See It Before You Can!

Glaucoma often shows no warning signs until it has affected your sight. That makes regular eye exams essential for protecting your vision. Our skilled doctors use the latest diagnostic technology to thoroughly assess your eye health and IOP, helping them uncover glaucoma in its first stages.

  There is a new manager, Erika. The prior manager (Jessica) and front desk person (Jovana) who made serious mistakes with a redo of my lens order are gone. This is a review of a short interaction with Erika and three times with the lab. So based on prior experiences with two people (the old manager and front desk person) this was going to be a 2 or 3 star review because they had messed up a redo of my lens order but now I have to revise what I was going to talk about. If you get frames/lenses at any of the stores they will be sent to this location which is where the lab is that puts them together. You can also come in person and pay an extra fee to wait while the lab completes your order then. My review of the lab is 5 stars! I just needed new lenses for my existing frames which are 25 years old. You have to sign a form absolving them of responsibility if the frames are damaged when they put in the lenses. I’ve never had a problem in the past with other labs and my old frames. Turns out due to mistakes with my initial order, the redo order, and the prescription redo order, I had to go to this store/lab three times. But each time they did a great job and my frames were fine! And I only had to pay the extra fee once. The turnaround time while I waited was about an hour or less.
