Glaucoma
At Monarch Eye Care, we provide thorough glaucoma evaluations as part of our commitment to protecting your long-term vision. Because glaucoma often develops with no warning signs, Dr. Monarch uses advanced diagnostic technology to detect changes early before vision loss occurs.
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of preventable blindness in the U.S.
- Over 3 million Americans have glaucoma, but nearly half don’t know it.
- Vision loss from glaucoma is permanent, but early detection can stop or slow the progression.
Anyone can develop glaucoma, but the risk increases with:
- Age 40+
- Family history of glaucoma
- Diabetes
- High eye pressure
- Long-term steroid use
