About Glaucoma
Glaucoma, often referred to as the "silent killer" of vision, gradually undermines your sight without warning. In its early stages, it presents no symptoms, making it difficult to detect without comprehensive eye exams. By the time visual changes are noticeable, significant damage may have already occurred, potentially leading to irreversible blindness. Timely detection is paramount in preserving vision, highlighting the importance of regular eye examinations, especially for those at higher risk.

What would you like to know
Glaucoma often begins without symptoms but can lead to gradual loss of peripheral vision and eventually tunnel vision. Regular screenings at Joseph Eye Hospital are crucial for early detection.
We use comprehensive eye exams including intraocular pressure measurement, optic nerve assessments, and visual field tests to detect glaucoma in its early stages.
Treatment options include medicated eye drops, oral medications, laser therapies, and surgeries, all tailored to individual patient needs and conducted using the latest technology.
While glaucoma cannot be cured, it can be managed effectively with personalized treatment plans and regular monitoring at Joseph Eye Hospital.
We recommend that adults over 40, especially those at higher risk, receive a comprehensive eye exam every one to two years to check for glaucoma.
