Protect Your Sight With
Early Detection and Ongoing Care
Glaucoma damages the optic nerve, usually because pressure inside the eye is too high. Dr. Rene has over 25 years specializing in ocular disease and glaucoma. Changes can happen before symptoms become obvious, so routine screening matters.

Treatment
Protect Your Sight With Early
Detection and Ongoing Care
Vision lost to glaucoma is permanent. Treatment can slow or stop further loss, but it cannot recover what is already gone. Routine screening helps you find changes before you notice them.
Because we image rather than just look, we can compare year on year and catch change before you’d notice it yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is glaucoma and how does it affect vision?
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can damage the optic nerve, often without early symptoms. Untreated damage can cause permanent vision loss, so regular exams are important.

Most glaucoma screening tests are quick and comfortable. They may include measuring eye pressure, examining the optic nerve, and checking peripheral vision.

Screening frequency depends on your age, eye health, and risk factors such as family history. Your eye doctor can recommend an interval tailored to you.
