Glaucoma is one of the most serious eye conditions affecting patients today. In fact, it is one of the leading causes of total vision loss. Since glaucoma is so threatening, all possible measures should be taken to prevent it, and if it does develop, you will need a team of eye care professionals that are prepared to give you the highest level of support and care. Here at Palisade Eye, our experts in
Jersey City glaucoma eyecare have helped many patients though the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma. Before moving on to diagnosis and treatment, it is useful to have a working definition of glaucoma fresh in your mind. Glaucoma refers to not one, but a few related eye conditions having to do with an increased pressure on the optic nerve in your eye. The most prevalent form of glaucoma develops in such a manner that most patients do not experience noticeable symptoms until the condition has already done significant damage to their vision. For this reason, it is of the utmost importance to have your eyes examined on a regular basis here at Palisade Eye. Our
Jersey City glaucoma eyecare experts can include a glaucoma screening in your regular comprehensive eye exam. In order to screen for glaucoma, we do a reading of your intraocular pressure to check for abnormalities that would be indicative of glaucoma development. From there, we can perform other tests in order to confirm a diagnosis, or recommend more in-depth monitoring if a diagnosis is not yet able to be confirmed. We can make these personalized recommendations and diagnoses for you after your next visit with us here at Palisade Eye.
