Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness, but early detection can help you and your family maintain clear, healthy vision. At Kennewick Vision Care, we’re dedicated to providing advanced glaucoma detection for all ages in Kennewick.
Understanding Glaucoma and Its Risks
Glaucoma is a progressive eye condition that damages the optic nerve, often caused by increased pressure in the eye. This damage disrupts the connection between your eyes and brain, leading to gradual vision loss.
The most concerning aspect of glaucoma is its silent nature. Many people don’t experience symptoms until significant and irreversible damage has already occurred.
Could You Be at Risk?
Glaucoma can affect anyone, but some people are at a higher risk:
- Adults over 40 years old
- Individuals with a family history of glaucoma
- Those with diabetes, high blood pressure, or thin corneas
- African American, Hispanic, and Asian populations
If any of these apply to you, regular Eye Health Wellness Assessments to detect glaucoma are essential for protecting your vision.
Early Detection at Kennewick Vision Care
At Kennewick Vision Care, we use the Eye Health Wellness Assessment to detect glaucoma in its earliest stages. This non-invasive, advanced test provides a comprehensive evaluation of your optic nerve and other vital structures in your eyes.
Our goal is to help you and your loved ones preserve your vision and enjoy the beauty of clear, healthy eyes.
Glaucoma Treatment Options
When glaucoma is detected early, it can often be managed effectively. Common treatments include:
