Why Glaucoma Deserves Your Attention
Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness worldwide, often progressing silently until irreversible vision loss occurs. Early detection is key to preserving sight and slowing the disease’s progression.
Key Facts About Glaucoma:
- No Symptoms in Early Stages: Damage to the optic nerve occurs gradually, often without noticeable changes in vision.
- Permanent Vision Loss: Once vision is lost, it cannot be restored, making early diagnosis critical.
- Increased Risk Groups: Adults over 40, those with a family history, and individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure are more vulnerable.
The Eye Health Wellness Assessment: Your Vision’s First Line of Defense
At Eye Care Associates of Michiana, the Eye Health Wellness Assessment goes beyond a standard eye exam. Using cutting-edge diagnostic tools, it provides a detailed evaluation of your eye health.
Why Choose This Assessment?
- Advanced Retinal Imaging: Captures high-resolution images to detect subtle changes in the optic nerve and retina.
- Quick and Comfortable: A painless process designed with your comfort in mind.
- Proactive Care: Your results are reviewed by our expert optometrists, who will create a tailored plan if needed.
Who Should Request an Assessment?
While anyone can benefit from regular assessments, certain factors increase the likelihood of developing glaucoma:
- Being over 40 years old.
- A family history of glaucoma.
- Chronic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure.
- Long-term use of steroids.
- Previous eye injuries or surgeries.
If any of these apply to you, regular assessments are essential for maintaining your vision.
