Glaucoma Management

Glaucoma is a blinding eye disease that has no symptoms until it is too late. We perform a couple tests on every patient during every exam looking for this silent blinding disease. It includes checking your pressure. We have several ways to do this so make sure to let our technician know if the “air puff” machine creates anxiety for you and we can check it another way. Our office has state of the art retinal and optic nerve scanning along with visual field testing. It is the same instrumentation that would be used in a large university setting for their glaucoma patients. Our doctors are experts in this disease and work closely with surgeons in the few cases that need to go on for surgical consultation.
