Many people are diagnosed only after irreversible vision loss has occurred. However, when detected early, glaucoma can be controlled — preserving your vision for many years.
What you can’t feel, can still be detected

Many people are diagnosed only after irreversible vision loss has occurred. However, when detected early, glaucoma can be controlled — preserving your vision for many years.
Who should get a glaucoma screening?
- If you’re over 40
- If you have 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 / Anterion)
These tests allow us to:
- Detect 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.
