Glaucoma is a leading cause of preventable blindness. It’s estimated that millions of people have Glaucoma is a leading cause of preventable blindness. Millions of people are estimated to have glaucoma and may be unaware of it, as the condition often develops without pain or noticeable symptoms. Although glaucoma cannot be cured, it can often be detected early and effectively managed to help protect vision.
Rochester Eye Care offers a comfortable and efficient diagnostic test called the GDxVCC, which can help detect glaucoma before vision loss occurs. This test is quick and non-invasive, requiring patients to simply look into an instrument while focusing on a soft light. In less than one minute, the GDxVCC captures detailed images of the optic nerve and retina at the back of the eye.
The GDxVCC measures the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer, which is widely recognized as one of the most sensitive indicators for early glaucoma detection. This advanced technology allows for earlier identification of changes that may not yet be affecting vision.
Our experienced eye care team focuses on early detection, careful monitoring, and personalized management of glaucoma to support long-term eye health. If you would like to schedule a glaucoma evaluation, please contact our office at (248) 650-2255.
