Chronic Glaucoma
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
The ophthalmologist is the specialist who evaluates chronic glaucoma, with support from the optometrist for visual check-ups. This condition is related to progressive damage of the optic nerve, often linked to the pressure inside the eye, and it usually advances silently.
What it is: it is a slowly progressing eye condition that can gradually affect the visual field without causing obvious discomfort at first.
Why the check-up is important: since it does not cause clear symptoms in its early stages, periodic eye exams are key to detecting it in time.
If you have a family history or have noticed changes in your vision, going for an evaluation with the visual health specialist makes it possible to study the case and provide the appropriate follow-up.
