Glaucoma is a group of conditions that damage the optic nerve, the cable that carries what the eye sees to the brain.
It usually develops slowly and without symptoms, so it is found at an examination rather than noticed at home. It is lifelong and it is manageable.
Eye pressure, the optic nerve and the field of vision are assessed at a comprehensive examination, with imaging kept on file.
Change between visits is measured against your own baseline rather than assumed.
Glaucoma care at Remy goes beyond a screening. You get a personalised risk assessment, a review interval set for you and the same optometrist at every visit, so nothing about your history has to be explained twice.
Where treatment is needed, Remy works with local ophthalmologists to co-manage your care and stays involved between their visits. We report back to your GP and ophthalmologist after each relevant appointment, so everyone looking after you is working from the same information.
Your first appointment includes a full examination and baseline imaging. You will leave understanding your risk, what is being monitored and when you will be seen next.
If you have been told you have glaucoma or a risk of glaucoma, Remy can support your care.
