Understanding Glaucoma and Its Risks
Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness, affecting millions worldwide. This condition occurs when increased pressure in the eye damages the optic nerve, which transmits visual signals to the brain. Unfortunately, glaucoma often develops without noticeable symptoms in its early stages, earning it the nickname "silent thief of sight."
Without early detection, glaucoma can lead to irreversible vision loss. That’s why comprehensive eye care is so important—especially if you’re at higher risk.
Are You at Risk of Developing Glaucoma?
Certain factors increase the likelihood of developing glaucoma. You may be at greater risk if you:
- Are over the age of 40
- Have a family history of glaucoma
- Experience high eye pressure or thin corneas
- Have diabetes, hypertension, or other systemic conditions
- Are of African American, Hispanic, or Asian descent
Even if you don’t have these risk factors, regular eye exams are crucial for maintaining healthy vision. At Caris Eye Centers, we make it easy to prioritize your eye health with services offered at two convenient locations in Alpharetta and Suwanee.
Advanced Assessment with the Eye Health Wellness Assessment
The Eye Health Wellness Assessment is an advanced, non-invasive test designed to detect glaucoma in its earliest stages. At Caris Eye Centers, we utilize state-of-the-art imaging technology to examine the optic nerve and other vital structures of the eye.
With our commitment to convenience, this essential assessment is available at both of our locations, so you can choose the one that works best for you. By taking this proactive step, you’re giving yourself the best chance at preserving your vision.
Why Early Detection Is Critical
Once glaucoma-related vision loss occurs, it cannot be reversed. However, early detection allows for effective treatments that can slow or stop its progression. Options like prescription eye drops, laser therapy, or minimally invasive surgery are most effective when glaucoma is caught early.
Our Eye Health Wellness Assessment provides a comprehensive evaluation of your eye health, ensuring that any signs of glaucoma are detected and addressed promptly.
