Glaucoma
affects over 2 million Americans, with an
estimated 2 million others who remain
undiagnosed.
(Statistics from the National Eye
Institute.)
Glaucoma is a
disease of the optic nerve.
It affects ones peripheral vision in
earlier stages of the disease, but can lead
to blindness if undetected for many years.
Many factors
are considered when diagnosing glaucoma:
- Intraocular pressures
- Appearance of the optic nerve through a
dilated fundus examination
- Visual fields
- Imaging of optic nerve with a special laser
Regular eye
examinations are recommended to detect
glaucoma for those undiagnosed and to
monitor glaucoma in those who have been
diagnosed.
