WHAT IS GLAUCOMA?

Glaucoma is the silent thief of sight, as it is painless and symptoms appear slowly. Pressure in the eye causes damage to the nerve fibres which results in loss of vision.


The common “puff test” has been shown to miss the disease in a large percentage of people who have glaucoma. We pride ourselves on having technology capable of early detection of this silent disease process. We have in our arsenal of machines, the OCT and Retinal camera, which are vital in the early diagnosis of glaucoma.


Many patients remain unaware they have the disease, and it is left undiagnosed and untreated until it is quite advanced. Regular eye examinations utilizing the latest technology can help you protect your vision from glaucoma – VIEW OUR ONLINE GLAUCOMA SIMULATOR HERE.


The statistics show that if a sibling or a parent of yours has glaucoma you have a high chance of getting it too. Losing vision means losing quality of life, so schedule an examination with us before glaucoma sneaks up on you.
