Glaucoma Diagnosis & Co-management, Keene, NH 

Glaucoma refers to a group of eye diseases that cause damage to the optic nerve. It’s often called the “silent thief of sight” because there are usually no symptoms in the early stages. While glaucoma is often linked to high eye pressure, it can happen with normal eye pressure as well.  

Glaucoma is a serious eye condition that can lead to vision loss or blindness if left untreated. Our expert eye doctors diagnose glaucoma and a range of other issues during an eye exam. It is crucial to catch and treat glaucoma early to protect your vision. Once eyesight is lost to glaucoma, it cannot be restored.
