Glaucoma Evaluation

Early diagnosis is the key to successful treatment and control of glaucoma and the prevention of blindness. A complete eye exam including eye pressure evaluation and optic nerve evaluation is essential. (please see what to expect from complete eye exam section). The best way to prevent vision loss from glaucoma is by having regular eye exams with one of our ophthalmologists.
