Your Guide to Common Questions

Have questions about glaucoma, cataracts, or your upcoming appointment? Find answers to our most frequently asked questions.

What is glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, usually due to elevated eye pressure. It causes gradual, irreversible vision loss starting with peripheral vision. Because symptoms are often not noticeable until significant damage has occurred, regular eye exams are essential for early detection.
Can glaucoma be cured?
Currently, there is no cure for glaucoma and vision lost cannot be restored. However, with proper treatment, glaucoma can be effectively controlled and further vision loss prevented. This is why early detection and treatment are so important.
What are the risk factors for glaucoma?
Risk factors include age over 40, family history of glaucoma, African or Hispanic ancestry, high eye pressure, thin corneas, high myopia (nearsightedness), diabetes, and previous eye injuries. Having a risk factor doesn't mean you'll definitely develop glaucoma, but regular screening is important.
How is glaucoma detected?
Glaucoma is detected through a comprehensive eye exam that includes measurement of eye pressure (tonometry), examination of the optic nerve, visual field testing to assess peripheral vision, and OCT (optical coherence tomography) to measure nerve fiber layer thickness.
