With the service expansion, White Plains Eye Care aims to stress the importance of early detection of glaucoma, which is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide. According to the Glaucoma Research Foundation, it is estimated that over 3 million Americans suffer from some form of glaucoma, but only 50% of them are aware that they have it. As glaucoma has very few obvious symptoms while it’s developing, many cases go undiagnosed and untreated until the disease is in its advanced stages.
While glaucoma is presently incurable, routine eye exams can identify risk factors, and timely management can prevent permanent vision loss, says White Plains Eye Care. Early signs of the disease can be detected through the clinic’s electroretinography (ERG) tests and comprehensive eye examinations, the latter of which will assess visual function, visual acuity, and fluid pressure. Because glaucoma is hereditary and has been linked to certain lifestyle factors and health conditions, White Plains Eye Care will also look at the patient’s family history and overall health in addition to evaluating the interior and exterior of their eyes.
White Plains Eye Care’s facilities are also equipped with advanced diagnostic technology such as the Visionix VX 120 Multi-Diagnostic Unit, which is effective in determining a patient’s risk of developing open- or closed-angle glaucoma, and the Visionix iScan80, which provides optometrists with detailed segment scans of the retina, optic nerve, and anterior segment. Patients who experience other symptoms, such as sudden or chronic headaches or who have elevated eye pressure, are examined with the Zeiss Humphrey Matrix 800, which tests peripheral vision and allows White Plains Eye Care’s doctors to determine whether there is optic nerve damage or a neurological component to the headaches.
The update to White Plains Eye Care’s services reflects their devotion to providing their patients with high-quality eye care. The office is widely regarded as one of Southern Westchester’s top optometry groups.
