FAQs
Common questions.
Does glaucoma have symptoms?
The most common type causes no pain and no symptoms until significant side vision is lost. That is why regular checks matter, especially after 40.
Can glaucoma be cured?
Vision lost to glaucoma cannot be restored, but treatment can usually stop or slow further damage.
Will I need drops for life?
Many people do, though laser or surgery can reduce the need for drops in some cases.
How often should I be checked?
This depends on your risk and how stable your glaucoma is, usually every few months to once a year.
