What is Glaucoma and Why Does It Matter?

Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that damages the optic nerve, often without noticeable symptoms. Known as the "silent thief of sight," it can lead to permanent blindness if left undetected.

Key Insights About Glaucoma:

  • It’s a leading cause of blindness worldwide, affecting millions.
  • Damage from glaucoma is irreversible but can be slowed with early treatment.
  • Risk factors include age, family history, and certain medical conditions.

The Importance of Early Detection with the Eye Health Wellness Assessment

At Through the Hayes Optometry, we go beyond regular eye exams by offering the Eye Health Wellness Assessment. This advanced assessment uses state-of-the-art imaging to provide a detailed look at your optic nerve and retina.

Why Choose This Assessment?

  • High-Tech Diagnostics: Detects subtle changes invisible during regular comprehensive exams.
  • Quick and Comfortable: A non-invasive procedure tailored for your convenience.
  • Proactive Prevention: Early detection allows for timely intervention and better outcomes.

Who Should Consider Getting Tested for Glaucoma?

While glaucoma can affect anyone, certain factors increase the likelihood of developing this condition:

  • Adults over 40.
  • A family history of glaucoma.
  • Chronic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure.
  • Long-term steroid use or past eye injuries.

If you fall into any of these categories, regular assessments are essential to maintaining your vision health.
