Glaucoma: early detection protects your sight
Glaucoma silently damages the optic nerve and is a leading cause of irreversible blindness. We measure eye pressure, examine the optic nerve and provide personalized follow-up in Playa del Carmen.
Warning signs
There are almost no early symptoms. With a family history, high myopia, diabetes or age over 40, a yearly exam is essential.
How it is diagnosed
Eye pressure measurement, dilated fundus exam, angle assessment and visual field testing when needed.
Treatment and follow-up
The goal is to keep pressure at safe targets with medication, laser or surgery, plus regular checks that preserve the vision you already have.
