Early Detection. Lifelong Vision Protection.
Protect your vision with comprehensive glaucoma care at OptiHaven Eye Clinic & Optics. Our advanced diagnostic tools and personalized treatment plans help preserve your sight for years to come.
What Is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, often due to increased intraocular pressure. It progresses silently, so early detection through regular eye exams is critical.
The Silent Thief of Sight
Glaucoma is often called the "silent thief of sight" because it typically has no symptoms until significant vision loss has occurred. Regular eye exams are your best defense.
Why Is It Dangerous?
Progresses silently without early symptoms
Causes irreversible vision loss
Often detected only in late stages
A leading cause of preventable blindness
Critical Fact: Vision loss from glaucoma cannot be reversed, but early detection and treatment can prevent further damage and preserve your remaining vision.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about glaucoma management
How often should I be screened for glaucoma?
Adults over 40 should have comprehensive eye exams every 1-2 years. Those with risk factors may need more frequent screening. Your doctor will recommend the appropriate schedule based on your individual risk profile.
Can glaucoma be cured or reversed?
Currently, there is no cure for glaucoma, and vision loss cannot be reversed. However, with early detection and proper treatment, further vision loss can be prevented or significantly slowed.
What are the side effects of glaucoma medications?
Most glaucoma eye drops are well-tolerated, but some patients may experience mild irritation, redness, or changes in eye color. We'll monitor you closely and adjust medications if needed to minimize side effects.
