If damage or disease affects the retina, patients generally complain of loss of central vision and may have trouble seeing detail and vivid color.

If the nerve is damaged, transmission of information to the brain is affected resulting in eventual vision loss. At The Eye Institute of Utah, our team of glaucoma specialists - Dr. Kristin Chapman, Dr. Alan Crandall and Dr. Zachary Zavodni - can offer clinical and surgical treatments to battle glaucoma.
