Imagine losing your vision slowly and silently—with no warning signs. That’s the danger of glaucoma, often called the silent thief of sight.
At The JHB Eye Lady in Randburg, we’re making glaucoma screening accessible to all — just R270, claimable from most medical aids.
What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often due to increased eye pressure. Left undetected, it can lead to irreversible vision loss.
The worst part? It often has no symptoms until damage is advanced.
Common Types of Glaucoma
- Open-angle glaucoma – most common, gradual vision loss
- Angle-closure glaucoma – rare but fast and painful
- Normal-tension glaucoma – nerve damage despite normal pressure
What Are the Symptoms?
In early stages: None.
In later stages:
- Blurred or tunnel vision
- Eye pain or pressure
- Halos around lights
- Headaches
That’s why screening is so important.
How We Screen for Glaucoma
At your appointment, we’ll perform:
- Tonometry – eye pressure measurement
