Glaucoma Screening

Glaucoma is often called the silent thief of sight — by the time you notice symptoms, permanent damage may already be done. The only reliable defence is regular screening. At our Roodekop practice, screening combines intraocular pressure measurement (tonometry) with a careful optic nerve assessment, giving you a clear picture of your risk.

Screening is especially important if you have a family history of glaucoma, diabetes, or you are over 40. It takes only a few minutes during a routine visit — and patients from Roodekop, Phumula and greater Johannesburg have their eyes checked here year after year.
