Glaucoma Assessment

Glaucoma is a group of conditions that can affect the optic nerve. It may develop gradually, which is why assessment and appropriate monitoring can be important even when vision feels unchanged.

How we assess it

Your consultant reviews the health of the optic nerve, eye pressure and other relevant findings. Tests are selected to answer the questions raised by your examination and history.

Your options

When glaucoma or a related risk is identified, management may involve observation, treatment or referral for further care. Your consultant will explain the reason for the recommended next step.
