Glaucoma: A Silent Threat to Vision

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, often due to increased eye pressure. It progresses gradually, typically without symptoms in its early stages, and can lead to irreversible vision loss if untreated.

Key Facts About Glaucoma:

  • It’s a Leading Cause of Blindness: Millions worldwide are affected.
  • Early Detection is Critical: Vision loss from glaucoma is irreversible, but early treatment can slow progression.
  • Risk Factors: Age, family history, and chronic conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure increase your likelihood of developing glaucoma.

The Eye Health Wellness Assessment: A Proactive Tool for Your Vision

At Simpson Optical, we offer the Eye Health Wellness Assessment, an advanced diagnostic tool designed to detect early signs of glaucoma and other vision-threatening conditions.

What Sets This Assessment Apart?

  • High-Tech Imaging: Provides detailed views of the optic nerve and retina.
  • Comfortable and Quick: A painless procedure that fits into your schedule.
  • Personalized Results: Our optometrists will review your results and create a tailored care plan.

Who Should Request an Assessment?

Certain groups are more likely to develop glaucoma. You should prioritize assessments if you:

  • Are over the age of 40.
  • Have a family history of glaucoma.
  • Live with diabetes or high blood pressure.
  • Use long-term steroid medications.
  • Have experienced eye injuries in the past.

If any of these apply, regular assessments are essential for maintaining your vision.
