What to expect
Caught early, managed for life.
Vision lost to glaucoma cannot be restored, but caught early, glaucoma can usually be managed well. That is why testing is built into every comprehensive exam here.
01
Pressure check
We measure the pressure inside your eyes, a key indicator for glaucoma. It is quick and painless.
02
Optic nerve evaluation
Your doctor examines the optic nerve for the earliest signs of pressure-related damage.
03
Imaging & baseline
Detailed imaging documents your optic nerve and retina, so subtle changes stand out over time.
04
Monitoring plan
If anything looks suspicious, we set a monitoring schedule and coordinate treatment to manage eye pressure.
Who should be tested
Everyone gets a glaucoma check as part of a comprehensive exam. If you have a family history of glaucoma, have diabetes, or are over 60, more frequent monitoring is recommended.

Annually as part of your comprehensive exam, and more frequently if you have risk factors like family history or diabetes.
Are the tests uncomfortable? +
No. The tests are quick and painless, and your doctor will explain each one as you go.
