glaucoma testing

Glaucoma testing involves assessing eye health to detect increased pressure inside the eye, which can damage the optic nerve. Common tests include tonometry, which measures eye pressure; pachymetry, measuring corneal thickness; and visual field testing, evaluating peripheral vision for any loss. Sometimes, imaging techniques like OCT are used to visualize the optic nerve. Regular testing helps detect glaucoma early, enabling treatment to prevent vision loss. The process is quick, non-invasive, and crucial for maintaining eye health, especially for those at higher risk.
