Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of vision loss, often progressing without warning. This January, Infinity Eye Care encourages you to request an Eye Health Wellness Assessment to protect your sight and maintain your quality of life.
What Makes Glaucoma a Silent Threat?
Glaucoma damages the optic nerve, often due to elevated pressure inside the eye. This gradual damage disrupts the flow of visual information from your eyes to your brain, causing vision loss over time.
The challenge with glaucoma is that it doesn’t announce itself. Most people don’t notice any symptoms until the disease has already caused significant damage.
Could You Be at Risk?
Certain factors increase your likelihood of developing glaucoma. You may be at risk if you:
- Are over the age of 40
- Have a family history of glaucoma
- Experience diabetes, high blood pressure, or thin corneas
- Are of African American, Hispanic, or Asian heritage
If any of these apply to you, regular Eye Health Wellness Assessments to detect glaucoma are essential for early detection.
Detecting Glaucoma Early
At Infinity Eye Care, our Eye Health Wellness Assessment is designed to catch glaucoma in its earliest stages. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we can evaluate your optic nerve and detect subtle changes long before symptoms appear.
Early detection gives us the opportunity to create a plan to manage the condition and prevent further damage to your vision.
What Happens if Glaucoma is Detected?
If our assessment identifies glaucoma, there are several effective treatment options available, including:
- Prescription eye drops to reduce intraocular pressure
- Laser therapy to improve fluid drainage in the eye
- Minimally invasive surgeries for advanced cases
When caught early, these treatments can slow or stop the disease’s progression, helping you maintain your vision for years to come.
Comprehensive Eye Care You Can Trust
Beyond glaucoma detection, Infinity Eye Care offers a full range of services to meet your vision needs, including:
- Comprehensive eye exams for all ages
