Glaucoma Evaluation and Treatment

Comprehensive Glaucoma Care Focused on Preserving Vision

Glaucoma is a serious eye condition that can cause permanent vision loss if left untreated. At Stewart Eye, we provide comprehensive glaucoma evaluations and personalized treatment options designed to protect your vision and slow disease progression.

Under the care of Dr. Sara Stewart, our practice uses advanced diagnostic tools to detect glaucoma early and manage it effectively through ongoing monitoring and treatment.

Comprehensive Glaucoma Evaluation

If you are at risk for glaucoma or experiencing vision changes, Dr. Stewart performs a thorough evaluation to assess eye pressure, optic nerve health, and visual function.

Comprehensive Glaucoma Evaluation

Your glaucoma evaluation may include:

Intraocular Pressure Measurement (Tonometry)

Measures eye pressure to detect elevated levels associated with glaucoma.

Visual Field Testing

Evaluates peripheral vision to identify early vision loss.

Optic Nerve Examination

Assesses the health of the optic nerve using a slit lamp or advanced imaging.

Corneal Thickness Measurement (Pachymetry)

Determines corneal thickness, which can affect eye pressure readings and glaucoma risk.

After testing, we review your results and discuss diagnosis, treatment options, and long-term management strategies.

Understanding Glaucoma

Glaucoma often develops slowly and may not cause noticeable symptoms until vision loss has already occurred. It commonly affects peripheral (side) vision first and can progress silently.

Common risk factors and symptoms include:

Early detection through routine eye exams is critical to preventing irreversible vision damage.

Understanding Glaucoma

Advanced Glaucoma Treatment Options

Glaucoma treatment focuses on lowering eye pressure to prevent further vision loss. Treatment options vary based on the type and severity of glaucoma and may include:

Our goal is to manage glaucoma effectively while preserving your quality of life and visual independence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often due to elevated eye pressure, and can lead to permanent vision loss.
Glaucoma cannot be cured, but early diagnosis and proper treatment can slow or stop vision loss.
Monitoring frequency depends on disease severity. Some patients require visits every few months, while others may be seen annually.
No. Glaucoma testing is non-invasive and generally painless.
People over age 40, those with a family history of glaucoma, diabetes, or thin corneas are at increased risk.
