Glaucoma Monitoring
Glaucoma is a serious eye condition that can lead to irreversible vision loss if not detected and managed early.
Our dedicated team is committed to providing thorough monitoring and personalised care to help protect your vision.
Understanding Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, often due to increased intraocular pressure (IOP).
It is a leading cause of blindness, but early detection and consistent management can significantly reduce the risk of severe vision loss.
Our Glaucoma Monitoring Services
Routine eye exams are crucial for early detection of glaucoma. Our optometrists use advanced diagnostic tools to measure IOP, assess the optic nerve, and evaluate the overall health of your eyes.
Regular check-ups help us identify any changes early and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.We employ state-of-the-art technology to monitor and manage glaucoma, including:
-
Tonometry: Measures the pressure inside your eye.
-
Ophthalmoscopy: Examines the optic nerve for damage.
-
Perimetry: Tests the field of vision to detect any changes in peripheral vision.
-
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): Provides detailed images of the optic nerve and retinal layers.
-
Based on your diagnostic results, we develop a customised treatment plan to manage your glaucoma effectively.
This may include prescription eye drops, oral medications, or referrals for surgical options if necessary.
Understanding your condition is key to managing it successfully. Our optometrists take the time to explain your diagnosis, treatment options, and the importance of adherence to your management plan. We provide you with the knowledge and resources to take an active role in protecting your vision.
Glaucoma requires continuous monitoring to ensure that treatment is effective and to adjust it as needed. We schedule regular follow-up appointments to track your IOP, visual field, and optic nerve health, ensuring that any changes are addressed promptly.
What our patients say
"I would thoroughly recommend Angus Optix.
Nicola was very professional, didn't rush me, was clear in her explanations. I will be going back again."
What our patients say
"My wife has been struggling with her vision for two years. She has been provided with glasses by a well known chain of commercial opticians who have tried to improve her sight. She has been assessed by NHS specialists in Tayside who have told her that they can do nothing to remedy the situation.
Two weeks after visiting Angus Optix she has a prism on her glasses that has made a great improvement. Angus Optix has up-to-date knowledge of advances in opthalmic science and the ability to apply them for the benefit of its customers. Need I say more?"
What our patients say
"Very friendly and efficient"
Choosing your glasses
Once your eye test has been completed, your results will be handed over to our dispensing optician or a clinical assistant to help you choose the right glasses and take any measurements associated with this.
We have a wide range of frames and lenses to choose from, suiting many different styles and budgets.
It is important that you choose a pair of glasses that you feel happy with, and we will make any minor alterations to the frames to ensure they fit properly and a comfortable to wear.
