- Glaucoma Screening
Glaucoma is often called the “silent thief of sight” because it causes gradual vision loss without obvious symptoms in the early stages. If left undetected, glaucoma can lead to irreversible blindness. At Acktiv Vision, we provide advanced glaucoma screening that helps in early detection and timely treatment, protecting your eyesight for the future.
Why Glaucoma Screening Is Important
- Glaucoma is the leading cause of preventable blindness worldwide.
- In the early stages, patients usually have no symptoms — by the time vision changes are noticed, significant damage may have already occurred.
- Regular screening can help detect the disease early and prevent vision loss.
- People with family history, diabetes, high eye pressure, or aged over 40 are at higher risk and should undergo regular glaucoma check-ups.
What We Check During Glaucoma Screening
Our screening includes a complete set of diagnostic tests tailored to each patient’s risk level:
- Intraocular Pressure Measurement (Tonometry): Checks eye pressure levels.
- Optic Nerve Examination: Evaluates the health of the optic nerve.
- Visual Field Testing: Assesses peripheral (side) vision for early changes.
- OCT Scan (Optical Coherence Tomography): Advanced imaging to detect nerve fiber layer thinning.
- Corneal Thickness Measurement (Pachymetry): Helps in accurate diagnosis and risk assessment.
Who Should Get Glaucoma Screening?
- Individuals over 40 years of age
- Those with a family history of glaucoma
- Patients with diabetes, hypertension, or high eye pressure
- People with high myopia (nearsightedness)
- Anyone experiencing unexplained headaches, blurred vision, or halos around lights
Treatment After Screening
If glaucoma is detected, our specialists provide a personalized treatment plan that may include:
- Prescription eye drops to control eye pressure
- Laser procedures for better fluid drainage
- Advanced glaucoma surgeries when required With timely care, vision loss can be slowed or even prevented.
