Examination
of the eye for the presence of disease that can
result in complete and permanent vision loss and
that is characterized by increased pressure within
the eyeball and damaged optic disk. When diagnosed
early, glaucoma usually can be controlled by the
use of suitable eye drops. Continued use of the

for glaucoma is advised for all adults every three
to five years, as the onset of the chronic form
of the disease may be without noticeable symptoms.
