  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 medication is vital for sight preservation. A test 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.
