Glaucoma Care & Testing
Protect your vision with advanced glaucoma testing, careful monitoring, and personalized eye care
from Dr. Terry L. Bonds in Jacksonville, Alabama.
Early Detection Can Help Protect Your Vision
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that can gradually damage the optic nerve. Because it often develops without noticeable symptoms, many people are unaware of the condition until vision loss has already occurred.
Routine comprehensive eye exams allow Dr. Bonds to look for early warning signs and recommend appropriate follow-up care.
Comprehensive Glaucoma Testing
Evaluating glaucoma involves more than checking eye pressure. Depending on your needs, testing may include an examination of the optic nerve, visual field testing, retinal imaging, and analysis of the nerve fiber layer.
Together, these findings help Dr. Bonds assess your risk and identify changes that may require closer monitoring.
Understanding Your Risk
Although anyone can develop glaucoma, certain factors may increase your risk, including:
- A family history of glaucoma
- Increased eye pressure
- Diabetes or other health conditions
- Previous eye injuries
- Long-term use of certain medications
- Increasing age
Dr. Bonds will consider your health history, family history, and examination results when recommending how frequently your eyes should be evaluated.
Ongoing Monitoring and Personalized Care
When glaucoma is detected or suspected, regular monitoring is important for tracking changes over time. Dr. Bonds takes the time to explain your test results, answer your questions, and recommend the appropriate next steps based on your individual eye health.
If specialized treatment is needed, our team can help coordinate your care with an ophthalmologist or other appropriate provider.
