Glaucoma Eye Care and Testing
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that can damage the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure inside the eye. It is one of the leading causes of vision loss—but when detected early, it can be effectively managed.
Glaucoma typically develops slowly and often has no early warning signs. Many patients don’t notice vision changes until the disease has progressed.
Without proper treatment, glaucoma can lead to permanent vision loss, starting with peripheral (side) vision and potentially advancing to blindness. Because glaucoma can progress without symptoms, regular eye exams are essential.
Early detection allows us to:
- Monitor changes in eye pressure
- Evaluate the health of the optic nerve
- Begin treatment before vision is affected
- Help preserve long-term vision
At Advanced Eye Care, our doctors are specialized in glaucoma care and use modern technology and advanced testing to check for, monitor and treat glaucoma.
You may have a higher risk of glaucoma if you:
- Are over age 60
- Have a family history of glaucoma
- Have diabetes or high blood pressure
- Are African American or Hispanic
- Have high eye pressure
Glaucoma often develops without symptoms—don’t wait until vision changes occur. Schedule your comprehensive eye exam today to protect your long-term vision.
