What Is Glaucoma Diagnosis & Risk Assessment?
Glaucoma diagnosis and risk assessment is a detailed evaluation that determines whether glaucoma is present and estimates the likelihood of disease progression. It combines clinical examination with advanced imaging and functional tests to assess optic nerve health and visual function.
By identifying subtle structural and functional changes early, this assessment allows for accurate diagnosis and informed decision-making. Understanding a patient’s individual risk profile helps plan appropriate monitoring or treatment to prevent irreversible vision loss.
This evaluation is recommended for individuals with suspected glaucoma or increased risk.
- Raised or borderline eye pressure
- Suspicious optic nerve appearance
- Family history of glaucoma
- Visual field abnormalities
Glaucoma diagnosis goes beyond measuring eye pressure. A comprehensive risk assessment helps identify early damage, understand individual risk factors, and guide timely, personalized treatment to protect long-term vision.
