Diagnosis and Treatment of Glaucoma
Our co-founder and glaucoma doctor, Dr. Bradley Barnett, has years of experience in treating a range of eye issues, including diagnosing and treating glaucoma. He’ll use advanced technology to check your eyes and determine the severity of your glaucoma, and then tailor a treatment plan just for you.
Glaucoma & Eye Discomfort: It’s Not Just About Vision
Glaucoma and its treatments can cause more than vision changes—they can make your eyes feel uncomfortable every day.
-
Dry, irritated eyes
-
Burning or stinging sensation
-
Gritty or “something in the eye” feeling
-
Tired, heavy eyes
If these symptoms sound familiar, it might be time to explore more comfortable, dropless treatment options.
Tired of the Burn? There’s a Better Way.
For many glaucoma patients, daily eye drops come with a cost. While they help manage eye pressure, they often cause dryness, stinging, and irritation that only get worse over time. The preservatives in these medications can lead to inflammation and discomfort, making your eyes feel gritty, tired, or constantly irritated.
If you’re frustrated with the side effects of long-term drop use, you’re not alone. That’s why more patients are turning to modern, drop-free treatments that protect your vision—without the daily discomfort.

Fixing the Drain: A Smarter Approach to Glaucoma Treatment
When treating glaucoma, the real problem isn’t just the amount of fluid in the eye—it’s the blocked drainage system that prevents fluid from flowing out. Think of it like a sink:
- If your sink is clogged, turning down the faucet (eye drops) might slow the overflow, but it doesn’t fix the drain.
- Over time, relying only on drops can actually make the clog worse, just like debris continues to build up in a neglected drain.
Instead of just turning down the faucet, we believe in fixing the drain itself—which is why we offer two leading treatments:
Drop Free After Two Easy Treatments!
SLT (Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty) – Cleaning the Strainer
- Uses gentle laser pulses to clear debris from the drainage meshwork, improving outflow naturally.
- Non-invasive, drop-free treatment with long-term results.
- Like cleaning a sink strainer—so water (fluid) flows freely again.
Omni Surgical System – Snaking the Drain
- A minimally invasive procedure that removes deep blockages inside the drainage system.
- Restores normal outflow, reducing dependence on medications.
- Like using a plumber’s snake to fully open the drain and keep it flowing properly.
A Drop-Free Future: Glaucoma Treatment Without Compromising Your Eyes
Our approach prioritizes long-term ocular surface health, reducing dependence on drops that can cause irritation or dryness. Dr. Brad specializes in dropless glaucoma management and ocular surface restoration, ensuring the best care for mild-to-moderate glaucoma.

More About Our Glaucoma Treatments
MIGS
At California LASIK & Eye, we also have an array of cutting-edge options for treating and managing glaucoma, including laser procedures such as micro-invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). MIGS is a procedure where a small medical device, a microscopic stent, is implanted into your eye to help improve the flow of fluids, regulate your IOP and enhance your quality of life.
Laser Treatment for Glaucoma
We can also treat and manage your glaucoma via laser surgery, which can help reduce your IOP. Certain patients are excellent candidates for selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT), a laser treatment that reduces pressure in your eye and has a proven track record of effectiveness. Dr. Barnett will be happy to discuss your candidacy and treatment options during a consultation.
OMNI® Surgical System
The OMNI® Surgical System provides a revolutionary way of treating glaucoma through a minimally invasive procedure. Using the OMNI® Surgical System, Dr. Barnett can clear up blockages that lead to fluid buildup in your eyes to relieve pressure on your optic nerve. We’re even able to perform the procedure at the same time as cataract surgery!
Combining Glaucoma Treatment with Cataract Surgery
Dr. Barnett has also had success combining glaucoma treatment with cataract surgery. This kind of treatment provides patients with clear vision and can help them manage their IOP using medication or other laser treatments.
