glaucoma screening
Optic nerve examination
Glaucoma screening is testing to detect glaucoma—a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve and can cause blindness if untreated.
Screening typically involves measuring eye pressure and examining the optic nerve, often during routine eye exams.
Because glaucoma develops gradually without early symptoms, screening is especially important for those at higher risk: older adults, diabetics, and people with family history.
