Family history of glaucoma
A detailed examination helps identify the cause, severity, and most appropriate next step.
Early Optic Nerve Protection
Glaucoma Screening.
Eye-pressure, optic-nerve, and visual-function assessment for a condition that may have no early symptoms.
Understanding the treatment
What is Glaucoma Screening?
Glaucoma can gradually damage the optic nerve. Screening combines pressure measurement with examination of the optic nerve and, where appropriate, scans, field testing, and corneal thickness measurement.
Your treatment plan is selected only after a detailed eye examination and discussion of suitability, alternatives, expected benefits, and limitations.
Individualized care: recommendations depend on your diagnosis, eye health, visual needs, lifestyle, and examination findings.

- Follow-up planned around the procedure
NERVE
Focused option
Optic Nerve Evaluation
Clinical examination and scans assess nerve structure.
- Suitability confirmed through examination
- Benefits and limitations discussed clearly
- Follow-up planned around the procedure
FIELD
Care pathway
Visual Field Testing
Checks peripheral visual function for glaucoma-related change.

Patient-first planning
Your treatment journey
Every plan is individualized. We explain findings, options, preparation, expected recovery, and follow-up before treatment.
Book ConsultationDetailed Evaluation
Symptoms, vision, eye structures, medical history, and relevant diagnostic tests are reviewed.
Personalized Planning
Suitability, alternatives, likely benefits, limitations, and costs are discussed.
Treatment
The selected medical, optical, laser, or surgical plan is performed with appropriate precautions.
Follow-up
Scheduled reviews monitor healing, comfort, vision, and the need for further care.
After treatment
Follow-up supports a safer recovery.
Recovery and aftercare differ by treatment. Follow the instructions provided for your individual procedure or care plan.
✓ Follow the prescribed eye-drop or medicine schedule carefully.
✓ Protect the eye and avoid rubbing, contamination, or unapproved activity.
✓ Attend scheduled examinations so healing and treatment response can be checked.
✓ Contact the clinic promptly for increasing pain, redness, or a sudden change in vision.
Contact the clinic urgently if advised warning signs occur.
Increasing pain, marked redness, sudden loss of vision, injury, or rapidly worsening symptoms should not be ignored.
Common questions
