Focus on Glaucoma

While we address various eye health issues, we place a special emphasis on glaucoma due to its prevalence and potential for causing irreversible vision loss. Glaucoma is often referred to as the “silent thief of sight” because it typically has no early symptoms. Early detection through regular eye exams is crucial in managing this condition and preventing vision loss.

Who is at Risk?

Anyone can develop glaucoma, but certain groups are at higher risk, including:
  • Individuals over the age of 60
  • People with a family history of glaucoma
  • African, Asian, and Hispanic populations

Early detection is crucial in managing glaucoma and preventing vision loss. We offer comprehensive glaucoma screenings that include:
  • Tonometry: Measuring the pressure inside your eye
  • Ophthalmoscopy: Examining the optic nerve for damage
  • Perimetry: Testing your field of vision
  • Gonioscopy: Checking the drainage angle of your eye
  • Pachymetry: Measuring the thickness of your cornea
