Glaucoma Testing and Management in Lexington, KY

Early detection and long-term care for the health of your optic nerve.Walk-ins welcome.

Glaucoma damages the optic nerve and typically has no symptoms early on, so regular medical eye exams are the way to protect your sight. That's one reason regular eye exams matter even when vision seems fine. Dr. Ron Haddad provides early detection and long-term management of glaucoma. Most vision insurances accepted.

How we test and monitor

More than a pressure check.

  • 01

    OCT imaging

    Optical coherence tomography captures detailed cross-sections of the optic nerve.

  • 02

    Visual field testing

    A precise measurement of peripheral vision to detect blind spots early.

  • 03

    Pachymetry

    Corneal thickness, so eye pressure readings are interpreted accurately.

  • 04

    Fundus photography

    High-resolution images to track the smallest changes in the optic nerve.

Who it's for

Glaucoma testing matters most if you have:

  • A family history of glaucoma
  • Diabetes
  • Age as a risk factor
  • Not had a medical eye exam in a while
  • Noticed a loss of side vision
  • A glaucoma diagnosis that needs ongoing monitoring

What to expect

  1. Pressure & riskEye pressure and a review of your risk factors.
  2. Nerve evaluationA detailed retinal evaluation and optic nerve scan.
  3. Further testingPeripheral vision and corneal thickness, when needed.
  4. Your planResults explained, with ongoing monitoring if you need it.

Damage to the optic nerve cannot be reversed, so the goal is to slow or stop progression before sight is lost.

Glaucoma questions

What is a glaucoma test like?

It is more than the air puff test. Along with checking eye pressure, Dr. Haddad performs a detailed retinal evaluation and nerve scan, and may use visual field testing, pachymetry and digital fundus photography.

What are the early signs of glaucoma?

Most forms of glaucoma cause no pain or noticeable vision change until the disease is advanced. It typically affects side vision first, which is why regular exams matter.

How often should I be checked for glaucoma?

Regular medical eye exams are the most reliable way to catch glaucoma early. Dr. Haddad will recommend how often to return based on your age, family history and health conditions such as diabetes.

Can glaucoma be cured or only controlled?

Vision lost to glaucoma cannot be restored, but the disease can be managed. Treatment, such as prescription eye drops or procedures that lower eye pressure, aims to preserve the vision you have.
