Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible vision loss in Australia. It often develops slowly and without noticeable symptoms, meaning many people are unaware they have the condition until significant damage has occurred.

At North Canberra Eyecare, we provide comprehensive glaucoma testing in Canberra using advanced diagnostic technology to detect early changes before vision is affected.

A glaucoma assessment may include:

• Measurement of intraocular pressure (eye pressure)

• Detailed optic nerve evaluation

• Retinal imaging

• Visual field testing to assess peripheral vision

• Corneal thickness measurement when indicated

Glaucoma cannot be reversed, but early detection and careful monitoring can prevent or significantly slow vision loss.

If you have a family history of glaucoma, are over 40, are highly short-sighted, or have other risk factors, regular glaucoma screening is strongly recommended.

As your trusted Canberra optometrist, we take a proactive and preventative approach to eye health. If required, we work closely with ophthalmologists to ensure timely referral and coordinated long-term management.
