Adults should undergo regular glaucoma screenings starting at age 40, as this is when the risk begins to increase. If there are risk factors such as a family history of glaucoma, high eye pressure, or other health conditions, more frequent testing may be recommended. Generally, individuals without risk factors should be tested every 2 to 4 years, while those at higher risk might need annual check-ups. Always consult with an eye care professional for personalized recommendations.

Does Hyperopia increase the chance for glaucoma?
Yes, hyperopia (farsightedness) can increase the risk of developing angle-closure glaucoma, especially in older adults. This happens because farsighted eyes often have a shallower anterior chamber, which can lead to blocked fluid drainage and increased eye pressure.

Would you recommend using a laser for glaucoma surgery?
There are several different types of laser surgery for treating different types of glaucoma. Some types of glaucoma do not require laser surgery and can be treated with medication. Inquiring with the doctor over the case should establish this. If the glaucoma has become severe laser surgery is often the last option before actual invasive surgery. It is rare that there is a loss of eye site due to this type of surgery. It should be noted that this surgery can not return eyesight that has already been lost nor can it cure glaucoma. As such, consistent careful monitoring after the surgery is necessary. This will decrease the chances of severe side effects as well.
