Accelerated Glaucoma Screening

Glaucoma is often called the silent thief of sight because it typically presents no early symptoms. Champaign Eye Professionals uses state-of-the-art widefield imaging to catch this condition in its earliest stages. We are dedicated to preserving our community’s vision through proactive, thorough medical screenings.

Regularly checking your Intraocular Pressure is the first step in a comprehensive glaucoma evaluation. High pressure inside the eye can cause irreversible damage to the Optic Nerve, the cable that transmits visual information to the brain. We utilize Optos Ultra-Widefield Imaging to capture a two-hundred-degree view of your retina in a single flash. This allows our doctors to see the far periphery of the eye where early signs of disease might hide. Families near Prospect Avenue trust our clinical expertise to monitor their health year after year.

A long-time resident shared that the widefield scan was so fast they barely realized their entire retina had been mapped.

Understanding the Mechanisms of Ocular Pressure

The eye maintains its shape through a constant flow of fluid known as the aqueous humor. If the drainage system becomes inefficient, the resulting pressure can crush the delicate nerve fibers. High-resolution imaging helps us monitor the Topographic Mapping of the nerve head for any structural changes. Precision diagnostics are essential because once vision is lost to glaucoma, it cannot be recovered. Our medical team stays at the forefront of ocular pathology to provide you with the most accurate assessments possible.
