What Is Glaucoma?
8. Diagnosis
To diagnose glaucoma, the doctor will apply an eye drop to dilate the pupils of the eyes. This way, it is easy to examine the inside of your eyes. The doctor will examine the optic nerve for signs of glaucoma-related damage.
They will also carry out a tonometry test to determine the pressure inside your eyes. They will also test your vision and visual field to find out if you have a good peripheral vision. These tests take a short time and are not invasive. It is, therefore, sensible to have your eyes tested regularly to protect your sight.
