🟢 What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is an eye disease that damages the optic nerve, often caused by high eye pressure. It can lead to vision loss if not detected early.
🔎 How is it diagnosed?
Your EYE 👁️ DR. can check for glaucoma during a routine eye exam by:
• Measuring eye pressure
• Examining the optic nerve
• Doing a visual field test (checking for blind spots)
💊 Common Treatment Options:
• Eye drops 💧 to lower eye pressure
• Laser therapy ⚡️
• Surgery in more advanced cases ✂️
These treatments don’t cure glaucoma, but they help protect your vision.
📅 Takeaway:
Glaucoma is preventable from causing blindness if caught early.
👉 Even if your vision feels fine, SCHEDULE your eye check-up and ask about your glaucoma status.
