Glaucoma Care

Glaucoma is a group of conditions that slowly damage the optic nerve — the nerve that carries what you see to your brain. It is often linked to raised pressure inside the eye, and it usually develops without any early symptoms. By the time it affects your vision, some sight may already have been lost — and that loss cannot be brought back.

The reassuring part: glaucoma can usually be controlled when it is found early. That is why regular checks matter — especially after the age of 40, or if glaucoma runs in your family.

What a glaucoma check involves

• Measuring the pressure inside your eye
• Examining the optic nerve
• Testing your field of vision to map any blind spots
• Reviewing your history and risk factors

These checks are quick and painless. See our diagnostics page for the scans we use.

How glaucoma is managed

Depending on what is found, treatment may involve eye drops, laser, or surgery, with regular follow-up to keep the pressure under control. Glaucoma is usually a long-term condition, so staying in touch with your eye doctor is the most important part of protecting your sight.
