Glaucoma Screening at Top One Optometry

Glaucoma, often known as the “silent thief of sight,” is a group of eye conditions that can lead to irreversible vision loss through damage to the optic nerve, usually caused by high intraocular pressure. Early detection through glaucoma screening is critical, as symptoms often don’t appear until the condition has progressed. At Top One Optometry, the people’s optometrist, we specialize in comprehensive glaucoma screening, employing the latest technologies and personalized care strategies to protect your vision.

Glaucoma screening is essential for early detection and management of the condition. Regular screenings can help identify signs of glaucoma before significant vision loss occurs, allowing for timely intervention.

Symptoms of Glaucoma (Progressed)

  • Gradual loss of peripheral vision leads to Tunnel vision (advanced stages)
  • Sensitivity to light
  • Severe eye pain
  • Headaches
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Eye redness
  • Gradual blur vision

Risk Factors of Glaucoma

  • Family history of glaucoma
  • Age (risk increases with older age)
  • Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP)
  • History of eye injury or trauma
  • Long-term use of corticosteroid medications
  • Severe nearsightedness or farsightedness
  • Prolonged use of certain medications, such as corticosteroids
  • Previous eye surgery or laser treatment
  • Chronic eye inflammation

Glaucoma Screening Process

At Top One Optometry, our glaucoma screening process includes:

  • Intraocular Pressure Test (Tonometry): Measures the pressure inside your eyes, a primary risk factor for glaucoma.
