Glaucoma Screening

Early detection of glaucoma can save you from more serious eye conditions in the future. Glaucoma is known as the "silent thief of sight" because it destroys your eye's optic nerves. Glaucoma symptoms progress slowly and are subtle. Most people may not even know they have it until it's too late. Glaucoma can cause damage even before vision loss occurs. In its advanced stages, glaucoma can cause partial or complete loss of vision.

A thorough glaucoma screening consists of checking for eye pressure (tonometry), inspecting your eye’s drainage angle (gonioscopy), inspecting the optic nerve (ophthalmoscopy), and testing your peripheral.
