Testing for Glaucoma

During a comprehensive glaucoma evaluation your ophthalmologist will do the following tests and exams:

1.) Measure the inner eye pressure (tonometry)
2.) Inspect the angle in the eye where the iris meets the cornea (gonioscopy)
3.) Inspect your optic nerve’s shape and color (ophthalmoscopy – dilated eye exam)
4.) Complete field of vision Perimetry (visual field test)
