That’s because glaucoma has no symptoms at first. But with advanced diagnostics like <b>HRT II</b> and <b>OCT</b>, we can take a topographic map of your optic nerve to detect glaucoma in its early stages. And with <b>computerized visual field analysis</b>, we can detect early vision loss due to glaucoma. Then we’ll treat you with the goal of helping you avoid further vision loss. </p> <p> If you d like more information on glaucoma, please visit the American Academy of Ophthalmology s website <a href="http://www.geteyesmart.org/eyesmart/diseases/glaucoma.cfm">EyeSmart.org</a>. </p> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </div> </body> </html>
