<h1>Why Glaucoma Orange County Screening and Treatment is So Important</h1><strong> Author: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/profile_Bronisbert.aspx'>Bronisbert</a></strong><br /><p>Glaucoma is a progressive disease that can cause damage to your optic nerve and result in blindness unless it is treated. Screening for Glaucoma Orange County is extremely important to prevent damage to your vision. Factors that contribute to the risk of glaucoma are family history, thin corneas, poor circulation, hypertension, diabetes, increase eye pressure, eye injury and age. You don’t want to risk losing your precious eye sight so getting screened for Glaucoma Orange County on a regular basis is critically important. If your eye doctor finds glaucoma during the screening it is important to get treatment promptly. There are different types of glaucoma with symptoms ranging from no symptoms to blurred vision, eye pain, headaches, rainbow halos around lights up to and including nausea and vomiting. If you have any of these symptoms contact your eye doctor and schedule a Glaucoma Orange County screening test. Your eye care professional can perform a simple screening test to detect glaucoma even in its early stages. If you have a history of glaucoma in your family you need to begin glaucoma screening in your 20’s. If you have had a serious eye injury you need to be examined at the time of injury and each year after the injury. Everyone should have glaucoma screening in their 50s and then follow your eye doctor’s recommendation for subsequent glaucoma screening. If your eye doctor sees signs of glaucoma you may be advised to have additional tests or more frequent follow ups.
