Glaucoma can silently damage your vision, but with personalized care and advanced diagnostics, Northwest Eye Center helps you protect your sight. Request an Eye Health Wellness Assessment today to safeguard your vision.
What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that damages the optic nerve, which is responsible for transmitting visual information from your eyes to your brain. Often linked to increased eye pressure, glaucoma develops gradually and can lead to permanent vision loss if left undetected.
The most concerning aspect? Glaucoma often progresses without early symptoms, making regular eye exams essential for early detection.
Are You at Risk for Glaucoma?
While anyone can develop glaucoma, some individuals face a higher risk:
- Adults over the age of 40
- Those with a family history of glaucoma
- Individuals with diabetes, high blood pressure, or thin corneas
- African American, Hispanic, and Asian populations
If you identify with any of these risk factors, regular Eye Health Wellness Assessments at Northwest Eye Center to detect glaucoma are vital to preserving your vision.
Early Detection with Advanced Technology
At Northwest Eye Center, our Eye Health Wellness Assessment utilizes advanced technology to detect glaucoma in its earliest stages. This non-invasive test evaluates your optic nerve and other key structures of your eyes to identify potential problems before they cause significant damage.
