Glaucoma Screening
Protecting your sight from silent damage
Glaucoma screening at Optica utilizes premium diagnostic tools to identify early signs of eye pressure issues. Our clinical team performs precise optic nerve scans and visual field tests to detect any hidden damage before it affects your sight. By measuring corneal thickness and fluid drainage, we provide a full assessment of your ocular health risks. Early detection is the only way to prevent vision loss from this silent condition.
Comprehensive Glaucoma Screening Package
1. Pressure Assessment
We utilize advanced non-contact tonometry to measure your internal eye pressure with extreme precision. High pressure is a primary risk factor for glaucoma, and our specialists monitor these levels closely to detect any subtle changes. This painless and quick evaluation is a vital first step in our comprehensive screening process, ensuring your comfort while providing critical health data.
2. Optic Nerve Imaging
Our high-resolution retinal imaging technology creates a detailed map of your optic nerve structure. This allows our clinical team to identify microscopic thinning or damage that may be invisible during a standard eye exam. By capturing these precise digital images, we can track your eye health over time, providing a reliable baseline to protect your long-term vision from any silent decay.
3. Visual Field Testing
This essential diagnostic procedure maps your entire range of peripheral vision to detect any hidden blind spots. Glaucoma often affects the edges of your sight first, making this test crucial for early intervention. Our interactive and modern testing system provides accurate results that help our doctors understand how well your eyes are functioning and if any vision loss has occurred.
4. Corneal Pachymetry
We perform a precise measurement of your corneal thickness to ensure your eye pressure readings are interpreted correctly. Since the thickness of your cornea can influence pressure data, this specialized analysis is necessary for an accurate diagnosis. Our experts use this information to create a personalized care plan, giving you the most reliable and thorough protection for your sight.

Glaucoma Screening Frequently Asked Questions
Answer: Individuals over forty should have regular screenings, especially those with a family history of the disease. High-risk groups also include people with diabetes, high blood pressure, or extreme nearsightedness. Since glaucoma often shows no early symptoms, proactive testing is the only way to prevent permanent vision loss. At Optica, we recommend an annual exam for at-risk patients to ensure their optic nerve remains healthy and stable.
Answer: The glaucoma screening process at Optica is entirely painless and non-invasive for all patients. We utilize advanced "no-puff" technology and high-resolution digital imaging to assess your eye health without discomfort. Most tests take only a few minutes and do not require any direct contact with your eye surface. Our clinical team prioritizes your comfort, ensuring that you remain relaxed while we gather precise data about your vision.
Answer: A comprehensive glaucoma screening typically takes about thirty minutes from start to finish. This timeframe includes intraocular pressure checks, optic nerve scans, and a thorough visual field analysis. Our efficient clinical workflow ensures that you receive a detailed evaluation without unnecessary waiting times. After the tests, our specialists will immediately review the results with you to explain any findings and discuss your care plan.
Answer: If high eye pressure is detected, our specialists will perform additional tests to assess the risk. Elevated pressure does not always mean you have glaucoma, but it requires careful monitoring to prevent future damage. We may measure your corneal thickness or conduct a more detailed nerve scan to create an accurate diagnosis. Optica provides personalized management plans, including specialized drops or lifestyle advice, to lower your risk.
Answer: Yes, modern diagnostic technology allows us to detect glaucoma years before vision loss occurs. By analyzing the microscopic fibers of the optic nerve, we can identify subtle thinning that indicates early disease. Early detection is the gold standard of care, as it allows for treatments that can stop or slow progression effectively. Regular visits to Optica ensure that your sight is protected by the most advanced screening methods available today.
