This damage can lead to gradual vision loss, starting with peripheral vision and progressing to central vision if left untreated. Treatment is essential to slow or halt the progression of glaucoma, preserve remaining vision, and prevent further damage to the optic nerve.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_different_types_of_glaucoma_treatment_available\"><\/span>What are the different types of glaucoma treatment available?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glaucoma treatment aims to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) and prevent further damage to the optic nerve.
