Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that can lead to permanent vision loss if left untreated. It occurs when pressure builds up within the eye and damages the optic nerve—the crucial pathway that transmits visual signals to your brain. Often called the "sneak thief of sight," glaucoma typically develops slowly and without noticeable symptoms in its early stages, making regular eye exams essential for early detection.
At What a Spectacle Optometry in San Juan Capistrano, we provide comprehensive glaucoma testing using advanced diagnostic technology. Dr. Michelle Ahumada evaluates your intraocular pressure, examines the optic nerve, and may perform visual field testing to monitor peripheral vision loss—one of the first indicators of glaucoma.
If diagnosed early, glaucoma can often be managed effectively with prescription eye drops, oral medications, or in some cases, surgical intervention. Our team will work with you to determine the best course of treatment to slow the progression of the disease and protect your vision for years to come.
Don’t wait for symptoms to appear—by the time you notice vision loss, the damage may already be significant. Prioritize your eye health with regular glaucoma screenings and expert care tailored to your needs.
Protect your vision with early diagnosis and expert glaucoma management.
