Why monitoring matters.

Glaucoma damages the optic nerve and often develops without obvious early symptoms. Eye pressure can be raised or within the usual range. Regular examinations help identify changes that need further assessment.

What your appointment may involve.

Depending on your care plan, checks can include eye-pressure measurement, visual-field testing and examination or OCT imaging of the optic nerve. We compare findings over time and explain whether further investigation or referral is needed.

Continue prescribed treatment and hospital appointments unless your treating clinician advises otherwise. Monitoring does not replace treatment.

New symptoms need prompt help.

Sudden severe eye pain, redness, blurred vision or halos with sickness need immediate medical assessment. Do not wait for a routine monitoring appointment. See our urgent eye-care guidance and NHS glaucoma advice.
