Glaucoma is a silent threat to your sight, but early detection can make all the difference. At Eye Designs Optometry, we offer advanced Eye Health Wellness Assessments to detect glaucoma at our Sacramento, Roseville, and Citrus Heights locations to help protect your vision.
What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that damages the optic nerve, often caused by increased eye pressure. This damage disrupts the connection between your eyes and brain, gradually leading to vision loss and, in severe cases, blindness.
What makes glaucoma particularly dangerous is its lack of early symptoms. Most people don’t realize they have glaucoma until significant and permanent damage has already occurred.
Are You at Risk for Glaucoma?
Glaucoma can affect anyone, but certain individuals are more at risk. Key factors include:
- Being over the age of 40
- A family history of glaucoma
- Conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, or thin corneas
- African American, Hispanic, and Asian heritage
If you fall into any of these categories, regular Eye Health Wellness Assessments to detect glaucoma are essential for preserving your vision.
Early Detection with Advanced Technology
At Eye Designs Optometry, we use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools during our Eye Health Wellness Assessment to detect glaucoma in its earliest stages. This non-invasive assessment evaluates your optic nerve and other critical eye structures to identify potential issues before they cause irreversible damage.
Our commitment to quality care means you can trust us to provide thorough, accurate testing at any of our three convenient locations.
Treatment Options for Glaucoma
If glaucoma is detected, early treatment can significantly slow or stop its progression. Our team offers a range of effective treatments, including:
- Eye drops to reduce intraocular pressure
- Laser therapy to improve fluid drainage
- Minimally invasive surgeries for advanced cases
By catching glaucoma early, we can create a personalized treatment plan that works for your unique needs.
