Glaucoma Diagnostic Program
What is glaucoma?
"Glaucoma is a disease that causes abnormalities in the optic nerve due to elevated intraocular pressure and other risk factors."
There are very few symptoms at the onset of glaucoma. As the condition progresses, vision narrows, and may even progress to blindness. Occasionally, headache, vomiting, and eye redness may be experienced as intraocular pressure rises.
However, many people who have glaucoma don’t have high intraocular pressure, so it is important to have regular check-ups and early treatment
Glaucoma is usually not self-detected unless it is well advanced and significant symptoms are present. Because the optic nerve cannot be restored if it is damaged, it is very important to diagnose glaucoma as early as possible so that treatment can be started to prevent disease progression. That is why regular glaucoma screening is necessary.
Glaucoma Diagnostic System
The ‘fundus examination’ to screen for glaucoma has recently been included in total health examinations. If your health examination center notifies you that you may have glaucoma, it is very important to have an in depth eye examination so you can begin treatment immediately. Sometimes the treatment plan for simple glaucoma involves ‘active observation’ which is basically a wait-and-see approach. So don’t get nervous, come into NUNEVIT Glaucoma Clinic to discuss your treatment options with our highly qualified and experienced team.
The NUNEVIT Glaucoma Early Diagnosis Clinic uses highly specialised, state-of-the-art glaucoma diagnostic equipment to classify glaucoma diagnosis into simple glaucoma or suspected glaucoma.
