Understanding Glaucoma: The Silent Thief of Sight
Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness, often progressing without symptoms in its early stages. Damage caused by glaucoma is irreversible, making early detection essential.
Key Facts About Glaucoma:
- Silent Progression: Many people don’t notice symptoms until vision loss occurs.
- Risk Increases with Age: Individuals over 40 are more likely to develop glaucoma.
- Early Detection is Vital: Treatment can slow progression and preserve vision.
Regular assessments are the best way to catch glaucoma before it causes significant damage.

At Branford Optometric Associates, we utilize advanced technology to provide comprehensive evaluations of your eye health. The Eye Health Wellness Assessment is a powerful tool for detecting glaucoma and other vision-threatening conditions.
What to Expect During the Assessment:
- Advanced Imaging: High-resolution scans of the optic nerve and retina.
- Non-Invasive Procedure: A painless process that takes only minutes.
- Personalized Results: Our team reviews your results to create a tailored care plan.
Who Should Get Tested for Glaucoma?
Glaucoma can affect anyone, but certain factors increase the likelihood of developing this condition:
- Being over 40 years old.
- A family history of glaucoma.
- Chronic conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure.
- Long-term steroid use or past eye injuries.
If any of these apply to you, regular assessments are essential for maintaining your vision health.
