What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can damage the optic nerve, which can lead to vision loss and blindness. It is often referred to as “the silent thief of sight” because it can progress without any symptoms, and many people don’t realize they have it until it’s too late.
Regular Eye Exams are Important for Detecting Glaucoma
One of the most important things you can do to protect your vision from glaucoma is to get regular eye exams from a Calgary Optometrist. At Eyedeology, we screen for glaucoma at your annual eye exam. If you are at risk for developing glaucoma, our Optometrist will do further testing and commence treatment.

It is recommended for everyone who has an annual eye exam, people with a family history of glaucoma, people with high eye pressure, and people with certain medical conditions such as diabetes should get their eyes tested for glaucoma.
In the early stages, glaucoma typically does not have any symptoms. However, as the disease progresses, it may cause symptoms such as gradual vision loss, particularly in peripheral vision, severe eye pain, headaches, and nausea.
Optometrists can use various techniques to measure the pressure inside the eye and examine the optic nerve for signs of damage. They can also conduct visual field tests to detect any loss of peripheral vision and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to obtain a 3D image of the optic nerve and macular tissue. Early detection is crucial for the successful treatment and preservation of vision.
There are several treatments available for glaucoma, including eye drops, laser therapy, and surgery. The type of treatment that is right for you will depend on the type and severity of your glaucoma, as well as your individual health conditions. Our Optometrists will be able to diagnose and recommend which treatment option is the right option for you. We also co-manage glaucoma care with our Calgary Ophthalmologists.
There is currently no way to prevent glaucoma, but early detection and treatment can help prevent or slow vision loss. This is why it's important to get regular eye exams, especially as you get older or if you have risk factors for glaucoma.
