Glaucoma is a silent but serious eye disease that can lead to irreversible vision loss if left undiagnosed. Since symptoms often do not appear until significant damage has occurred, early detection and regular eye check-ups play a crucial role in preserving vision. At The Eye Center – Dr. Mahnaz Naveed Shah & Associates, we emphasize proactive eye care to prevent long-term complications.
Why Early Detection Matters
Glaucoma progresses gradually, damaging the optic nerve without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. By the time vision loss is apparent, the damage is often irreversible. Routine eye exams, including intraocular pressure measurements and optic nerve imaging, allow for early diagnosis and timely intervention. Early treatment, whether through medications, laser therapy, or minimally invasive surgery, can effectively slow disease progression and protect vision.
The Need for Regular Eye Check-ups
Regular eye check-ups are essential, especially for individuals over 40 or those with a family history of glaucoma. Comprehensive eye exams at least once a year can help detect glaucoma before it causes permanent damage, significantly improving treatment outcomes.
