At Eyesite Optometry, we believe that exceptional eye care begins with a personalized approach. Serving Southern California from our boutique-style locations in Cerritos and Newport Coast, we combine cutting-edge technology with individualized attention to safeguard your vision.

This January, during Glaucoma Awareness Month, take the proactive step of requesting an Eye Health Wellness Assessment, a key assessment for detecting glaucoma early.

Understanding Glaucoma: A Silent Vision Thief

Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that damages the optic nerve, often leading to irreversible vision loss. Known as the "silent thief of sight," it can develop without noticeable symptoms in its early stages.

Why Early Detection Matters:

  • Gradual Progression: Vision loss typically starts at the edges of your field of view.
  • Permanent Damage: Once vision is lost, it cannot be restored.
  • Risk Factors Include: Age, family history, diabetes, and high blood pressure.

Regular assessments are crucial for identifying and managing glaucoma before it advances.

The Eye Health Wellness Assessment: A Tailored Solution

At Eyesite Optometry, the Eye Health Wellness Assessment provides a comprehensive evaluation of your eye health using advanced diagnostic tools.

What Makes This Assessment Unique?

  • Advanced Retinal Imaging: Captures detailed views of the optic nerve and retina.
  • Quick and Comfortable: A non-invasive procedure designed for your ease.
  • Actionable Insights: Our optometrists review your results and create a personalized care plan tailored to your needs.

Are You at Risk for Glaucoma?

While anyone can develop glaucoma, certain individuals face a higher risk:

  • Adults over 40 years old.
  • Those with a family history of glaucoma.
  • Patients with chronic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure.
  • Long-term steroid users.
  • Individuals who have experienced eye injuries or surgeries.

If any of these apply to you, scheduling regular assessments is essential.
