Glaucoma Work-Up
A Glaucoma Work-Up is a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation offered at Desai Eye Hospital to assess the risk of glaucoma and monitor eye health. Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that cause damage to the optic nerve, often due to increased intraocular pressure, and can lead to permanent vision loss if not diagnosed and managed early. The work-up typically includes a series of tests designed to measure eye pressure, examine the optic nerve, and assess the visual field.
Key components of the glaucoma work-up include tonometry to measure intraocular pressure, optic nerve head assessment using a slit-lamp biomicroscope, and visual field testing to detect any loss of peripheral vision. Advanced imaging techniques such as Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) may also be used to capture detailed images of the optic nerve and retinal layers. This thorough evaluation allows our ophthalmologists to detect early signs of glaucoma, ensure timely intervention, and develop personalized treatment plans. At Desai Eye Hospital, we focus on providing accurate diagnosis, patient education, and effective management to protect vision and prevent further damage.
How Does It Work?
- A glaucoma work-up includes various tests to assess eye health.
- The intraocular pressure (IOP) is measured to check for elevated pressure.
- Optic nerve examination evaluates for signs of damage or abnormalities.
- Visual field testing checks for peripheral vision loss associated with glaucoma.
- Pachymetry measures corneal thickness, which affects IOP readings.
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT) assesses the optic nerve and retina.
- Gonioscopy examines the drainage angle of the eye to detect blockages.
- The work-up helps diagnose glaucoma early for timely treatment and prevention.
