Glaucoma Screening
A glaucoma screening is recommended for men and women over the age of 40 and detects your risk for glaucoma.

What is Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a disease that is known to increase the pressure in the eye which can cause blindness

Screening
The screening can be done comprehensively with your annual eye examination or can be done separately.

The procedure includes:
Tonometry – it measures pressure in the eyes

Fundoscopy – examines the anatomical structure of the optic nerve head in relation to the cup and the disc.

Perimetry test – it helps to find certain patterns of vision loss. This may mean a certain type of eye disease is present. It is very useful in finding early changes in vision caused by nerve damage from glaucoma.

Regular Perimetry tests can be used to see if treatment for glaucoma is preventing further vision loss.
