Glaucoma is an eye condition that can damage vision gradually and without early warning signs. At Eye See Optique — Arlington, we provide medical glaucoma evaluation, monitoring, and ongoing care designed to identify changes early and help protect long-term vision.
Understand Your Glaucoma Risk and Next Steps
Glaucoma is often identified through routine eye exams before symptoms appear. Some patients are diagnosed after changes in eye pressure or optic nerve health, while others require monitoring because of family history or exam findings. Our role is to explain your results clearly and outline the recommended follow-up care based on your individual risk.
What Glaucoma Is
Glaucoma refers to a group of conditions that affect the optic nerve, which transmits visual information from the eye to the brain. Damage often occurs slowly, and vision changes may not be noticeable until later stages. Regular eye exams play an important role in detecting glaucoma before significant vision loss occurs.
How Glaucoma Is Evaluated and Monitored
Glaucoma care is based on tracking change over time rather than relying on a single test. We evaluate eye pressure, optic nerve appearance, and overall eye health, then compare results across visits to identify meaningful trends. When appropriate, advanced imaging such as OCT is used to support careful monitoring and long-term comparison.
You will receive a clear explanation of your findings, what they mean, and how often follow-up visits are recommended.
Your Personalized Glaucoma Care Plan
If glaucoma is suspected or diagnosed, your care plan is tailored to your risk level and exam findings. Management may include medication oversight and coordinated care with specialists when needed. Our eye doctor helps keep monitoring schedules clear and ensures that follow-up care supports long-term vision preservation.
Glaucoma management depends on consistent follow-up and clear understanding of your results. Regular visits allow changes to be identified early and care plans to be adjusted when needed.
