Did you know that diagnosing glaucoma is more than just the “puff test” or “pressure test?” Every eye exam should include 3 basic “screening” tests for glaucoma: One is the pressure test. Second (arguably the most important) is an evaluation of the optic nerve, that connects the eye to the brain. Third includes a check of the peripheral vision. Every time you have a routine exam at our office, all of these are checked each time. If anything appears out of the ordinary, Dr. Neka will refer you for more extensive testing elsewhere. Also, we do not even have the “puff test” at our office. We will check your eye pressures in a more “friendly” way that won’t leave you so traumatized ;)
