GLAUCOMA SERVICES
UF glaucoma physicians have trained
many renowned glaucoma specialists, played a leading role in
glaucoma research, and have taken part in the development
of many currently available new therapies to treat glaucoma.
UF’s Eye Care Center is a regional center for pediatric
glaucoma care. UF ophthalmologists offer treatments for
trabeculectomies with the use of antifibrotic agents and
perform cataract surgery and a variety of laser surgeries for
glaucoma patients including SLT, ALT, peripheral iridectomies,
iridoplasties, Diode trans-scleral cyclophotocoagulation
and laser capsulotomies. They also perform glaucoma
drainage device surgery.
