Detecting Early Glaucoma

Many people are unaware of the signs of glaucoma. Unfortunately, the symptoms can creep up on you before you realize it and can impair your vision. If left untreated, significant loss of vision or blindness can occur. Early diagnosis is key to preserving your eyesight. At Wellington Eye Care, we will detect the early signs of glaucoma and create a treatment plan to prevent vision loss.

Early Signs of Glaucoma

People with the beginning stages of glaucoma will have subtle or no symptoms, and may not notice that they have this condition until it progresses. Below are some early warning signs that should motivate you to seek immediate optometry care:

• You have begun to lose peripheral vision
• Bright lights cause you to see halos around them
• Your vision suddenly begins to decline over time
• Your eyes have become incredibly red and irritated out of nowhere
• Nausea or vomiting
•  Severe eye pain
• Tunnel vision or blurred vision beginning to develop

You need to seek treatment right away if you begin to notice any of the above symptoms. Be sure to schedule an appointment with our optometrist to get the help that you need. Don't wait any longer and risk losing vision that cannot be recovered once lost.
