Glaucoma
Prevention
Most of the risk factors (such as age, race, and family history) for glaucoma are beyond your control. Eye examinations that include tests for glaucoma are done by an optometrist or ophthalmologist. If there is a history of glaucoma in your family or if you have other risk factors for glaucoma, talk with your health professional about having more frequent examinations. If you are at increased risk, you need to have regular eye examinations by an ophthalmologist.
