Why Glaucoma Often Goes Unnoticed

Many people assume that if their vision feels normal, their eyes must be healthy. Glaucoma often develops gradually and without obvious symptoms, which is why many people are unaware they have it until screening identifies early changes. A simple eye pressure check and optic nerve evaluation can catch it years before you'd ever notice symptoms yourself. The goal of screening is not to find disease -- it's to find it early enough that the vision you have can be protected.

Risk Factors Present

Pressure Check & Optic Nerve Evaluation

Normal Findings

Routine Monitoring

Early Changes Found

Treatment to Preserve Vision

You Should Prioritize an Eye Examination If:

• You are over 40 and have never had a glaucoma screening

• You have a family history of glaucoma

• You have diabetes or high blood pressure

• It has been more than a year since your last optic nerve check

What I Commonly Hear From Patients

Ophthalmologist

"Doctor, my vision seems normal. Why should I worry about glaucoma?"

This is probably the most common question I hear about glaucoma. The challenge is that glaucoma usually develops gradually, and many people notice no change in vision during the early stages. By the time symptoms become obvious, some vision may already have been permanently lost. A screening examination allows us to look for changes before they affect your daily life. Most people we screen do not have glaucoma, but when we do find early changes, we have the opportunity to protect vision before damage progresses.

What Happens Next

Eye Pressure Check

A quick, painless measurement of intraocular pressure.

Optic Nerve Evaluation

Assessment of the optic nerve for early signs of damage.

Ongoing Protection

If needed, treatment focused on preserving the vision you have.

A Few Common Questions

If my vision is normal, why should I be screened?

Glaucoma typically causes no symptoms until significant, often permanent vision loss has already occurred. A simple pressure check and optic nerve evaluation can catch it years before you'd ever notice anything yourself.

How often should glaucoma screening be done?

Generally every 1-2 years after age 40, or annually if you have risk factors like diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of glaucoma. We'll recommend a schedule based on your specific risk.

Does a high eye pressure reading mean I have glaucoma?

Not necessarily. Eye pressure is only one part of glaucoma assessment. Some people have elevated pressure without glaucoma, while others develop glaucoma despite having pressures within the normal range. That's why screening includes both pressure measurement and optic nerve evaluation.
