Glaucoma Screening
Glaucoma screening is a visual examination conducted to detect potential signs of glaucoma. It is an important eye health test for individuals over the age of 40 and those at high risk for developing glaucoma, an eye disease in which the optic nerve is damaged and can lead to vision loss. An optometrist or ophthalmologist will perform a comprehensive eye exam, which typically includes visual acuity tests, tonometry measurement of intraocular pressure, dilation of the pupils of the eye, and visual field testing. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment of glaucoma can significantly reduce the risk of vision loss.
