Diagnosis Options

Regular screening and eye examinations by your eye doctor would allow for glaucoma to be suspected in a patient. However, further tests could be done to confirm the development of glaucoma in a patient. Listed below are some of the tests that could be conducted.
GLAUCOMA TESTS WHAT IT TESTS FOR PROCEDURE
Automated Perimetry Examination Complete field of vision The patient is asked to look straight ahead. Patient is asked to indicate when he or she is unable to see light beyond a certain point of his or her periphery vision. This allows the examiner to map the patient’s field of vision.
