Glaucoma

Glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness in the U.S., is a group of more than 30 diseases that affect the pressure inside the eye and damage the optic nerve. Often called the “silent thief” of sight, most forms of glaucoma do not display symptoms until the optic nerve is already severely damaged. Vision loss due to glaucoma is irreversible, but early diagnosis makes it possible to control the disease and prevent vision loss.

Dr. Sarkisian's devotion to surgical innovation has led him to become the first in the world to perform many breakthrough glaucoma procedures. His surgical experience and involvement in multiple FDA clinical trials for glaucoma treatment, including MIGS, has allowed him to play a significant role in the development of many of the latest advances in glaucoma technology.
