One of the most challenging things about glaucoma is that it often develops without noticeable warning signs. Many people continue seeing clearly even as glaucoma slowly begins affecting the optic nerve.
That is why so many patients ask, "If my vision seems fine, why do I need to keep coming back?"
The answer is simple. By the time glaucoma begins affecting your vision, permanent damage may already have occurred. Regular glaucoma evaluations allow us to detect small changes before they begin interfering with your daily life, giving us the opportunity to adjust your treatment and continue protecting your vision.
The goal of glaucoma care is not simply to treat today's vision. It is to help preserve the vision you still have for the future.
