“Dr. Fabunmi listens to all your questions and questions and concerns and does his best to address them all. At this visit he was recommending a procedure that I was uncomfortable about. He very patiently explained the need the for it and how it works and the benefits. He also took the time to answer all my questions about it.”
“I saw Dr. Fabunmi for my second visit on March 27, 2023 and I could not have been more pleased. He thoroughly explained the results of the tests that I had done the prior week in terms that I could understand. He asked if I had any questions and I felt like I was the only patient that he had to see. He is very patient and thorough as is his technician, Carmen. They are a great team.”
“As always Dr. Fabunmi and assistant Ashley M. are the best in their field. The one-on-one care received and the time they take at every visit to listen is top-notch. He treats me as I was a family member and only wants the best for my eye care.”
“My mom has had 2 surgeries with Dr. Fabunmi in the last 4 weeks. When we’ve had the follow ups, we’ve been blessed to have Ashley as the technician each time. She has such a caring and loving attitude each time we’ve had her. We’ve got a connection with her. Everyone we’ve seen/ had has been wonderful no matter what doctor mom sees.”
“Dr. Gamero is a very good care provider…very well experienced and compassionate…”
“My experience at St. Lukes was and usually is nothing short of excellent, I can only say I wish the other health care facilities were half as nice and considerate of older people.”
“Dr. Gamero explained each step he took and even looked into each eye twice after each step to confirm his findings. He was very patient and even explained why the optometrist mistakenly referred me for a closer look. I will go in once more to ensure there are no changes, however, he assured me that he was certain that the findings would be the same.”
Glaucoma is a disease caused by increased intraocular pressure (IOP) resulting either from a malformation or malfunction of the eye’s drainage structures. Left untreated, an elevated IOP can cause irreversible damage to the optic nerve and retinal fibers.
This can result in a progressive, permanent loss of vision. However, early detection and treatment can slow or even halt the progression of the disease.
The most common type of glaucoma is open-angle glaucoma. The anterior structures appear normal, but pressure builds, and the optic nerve and retina can be damaged.
Eye drops are often prescribed to lower the pressure. In some cases, if pressure cannot be adequately managed with drops, surgery may be necessary.
Acute angle closure occurs because the space between the iris and cornea is too narrow for the aqueous humor to pass through. Pressure rises, sometimes sharply, and this condition is called an angle closure attack.
Symptoms may include eye pain, nausea, blurred vision, rainbows around lights, and red eye. This problem is a medical emergency and should be treated by an ophthalmologist immediately.
Secondary glaucoma describes elevated eye pressure due to another problem in the eye due to inflammation, trauma, diabetes, tumor, and certain medications. For this type, both glaucoma and the underlying problem must be treated.
