Glaucoma, also known as glaucoma<\/strong> , includes a group of eye diseases<\/strong> that damage the optic nerve and can lead to blindness if left untreated<\/em> . In most cases, increased eye pressure is responsible for this. This leads to symptoms<\/strong> such as visual field loss, deterioration of vision or<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>reduced contrast vision. Unfortunately, glaucoma often develops unnoticed<\/strong>, which is why early detection is so crucial.

\nof glaucoma so important?<\/p><\/h3><\/div>
Anyone can develop glaucoma. The risk increases with age<\/strong> and increases from the age of 40. Therefore, we recommend early and regular check-ups<\/strong> at the Sanoculus Eye Center, especially if glaucoma has already occurred in the family. As soon as those affected notice the first symptoms, the death of the optic nerve can no longer be reversed \u2013 without the right therapy, the eye disease leads to blindness. Therefore, the goal of therapy<\/strong> is always to prevent the progression of glaucoma.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Details<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div>\nPrevention and early detection are elementary and the only way to prevent glaucoma<\/strong>. During the examination, our specialists measure not only the intraocular pressure, but also the corneal thickness and perform an endoscopy of the fundus of the eye and, if necessary, a visual field examination.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Glaucoma diagnosis:
\n Good prospects for stabilization<\/p><\/h3><\/div>
For the diagnosis of glaucoma, we measure the intraocular pressure with an applanation tonometer<\/strong> \u2013 the normal pressure is about 10 to 21 mmHg. However, the measurement of intraocular pressure alone is not sufficient for the diagnosis of glaucoma<\/strong>. That is why we use other modern examination methods to obtain reliable evidence of glaucoma disease.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Details<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div>\nAnother possibility for diagnostics is measurement with the help of pneumotonometry<\/strong> . This includes the visual field, the recording and measurement of the optic nerve with the OCT as well as the measurement of corneal thickness (pachymetry). A deviation from the average corneal thickness can falsify the measurement.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>![](\"https:\/\/sanoculus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sanoculus_Spandau_in-der-Praxis_Anja-Grothe-Fotografie_055.jpg\" "\\"Sanoculus_Spandau_in")
