Glaucoma progresses without pain or warning signs
At Clarity Tijuana, we offer timely treatment and follow-up to help preserve your sight.
What you can't feel, can still be detected
What is glaucoma and why doesn't it show symptoms at first?
Glaucoma damages the optic nerve — the “cable” that connects the eye to the brain — and often does so silently.
It is known as “the silent thief of sight” because:
- It begins by affecting peripheral vision
- It can progress without you noticing
- Does not cause pain
- Central vision remains unaffected in the early stages
Many people are diagnosed only after irreversible vision loss has already occurred. However, when detected early, glaucoma can be controlled—preserving your vision for many years.
Who should get a glaucoma screening?
- If you are over 40
- If you have a family history of glaucoma
- If you have elevated eye pressure
- If you live with diabetes or high myopia
At Clarity, we recommend a comprehensive eye exam every 1–2 years starting at age 40, or earlier if you have risk factors.
Early detection through precision testing
At Clarity we use advanced diagnostic tools that can detect glaucoma even before your vision is affected:
- Optic nerve OCT (optical coherence tomography)
- Automated visual field testing
- Intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement
- Drainage angle assessment (Gonioscopy / Anterior)
These tests allow us to:
- Detecting glaucoma in its early stages
- Monitor whether the disease is progressing or stable
- Adjust treatment based on objective findings
Eye pressure alone is not enough — glaucoma can be present even with “normal” pressure.

Frequently asked questions
Can glaucoma be cured?
No, but it can be controlled to prevent it from progressing. The earlier it is detected, the better the long-term results will be.
What are the symptoms?
In the early stages, there are none. That's why regular eye exams are recommended starting at age 40.
Can I have glaucoma even if I see well?
Yes. You can have damage to the optic nerve even with good central vision.
Will I need lifelong treatment?
In most cases, yes. But with proper follow-up and adjustments, you can preserve your vision for many years.
Does SLT laser replace eye drops?
For many patients, yes. It's a modern and safe alternative that helps reduce the need for medication.
