Glaucoma Management
Glaucoma is a serious eye condition that can gradually damage the optic nerve, often without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. At Central Coast Eyecare, we provide glaucoma assessment, monitoring and ongoing management to help detect changes early and protect long-term vision.
Because glaucoma can develop silently, regular eye examinations are essential, especially if you are over 40, have a family history of glaucoma or have been advised that your eye pressure is elevated. Early detection plays an important role in preserving vision.
Our optometrists assess your eye health using clinically appropriate testing, which may include intraocular pressure measurement, optic nerve evaluation, visual field testing and OCT imaging. These assessments allow us to detect early signs of glaucoma, monitor for progression over time and tailor your review schedule accordingly.
If glaucoma is suspected or diagnosed, we provide ongoing management, including prescribing treatment where appropriate and coordinating referral or co-management when needed. With additional training in glaucoma care, our team offers a thorough, personalised approach focused on helping you understand your results and treatment options.
We support patients from Gosford, Erina, Killarney Vale and Budgewoi with trusted glaucoma care backed by experience and modern diagnostic technology.
