Glaucoma

Would you notice if your vision was fading? 

Glaucoma often develops so quietly that many patients don’t realize something is wrong until significant damage has been done. That’s why regular screenings and early detection are essential. 

Sierre Eye Group offers comprehensive exams and the latest diagnostic innovations to catch glaucoma before it robs you of sight. 


Why Detection Matters So Much 

Glaucoma is damage to the optic nerve—usually from high eye pressure—that, left untreated, results in irreversible vision loss. Screening empowers you to treat glaucoma before it progresses. 

Key Questions:

  • What are the early symptoms? None in most cases. 
  • Who’s at risk? Adults 40+, those with family history, diabetes, or high eye pressure. 
  • When to be screened? Every 1–2 years after age 40, or sooner with risk factors. 
  • Is there a cure? No, but early treatment preserves sight. 
  • Which tests help? OCT, tonometry, gonioscopy, and visual fields.

Diagnostic Excellence 

  • OCT: Creates detailed scans of the optic nerve. 
  • Tonometry: Non-invasive measurement of intraocular pressure. 
  • Gonioscopy: Assesses drainage angle health. 
  • Visual Fields: Detects loss in side vision.
