If your eye doctor has asked you to get several tests done to confirm Glaucoma — you might be wondering: Are these tests really important?
In this detailed video, Dr. Surbhi TanejaGlaucoma & Cataract Specialist at EyeMantra Hospital) explains all the essential diagnostic tests required to confirm glaucoma. These tests not only help detect the condition early but also guide the right treatment and prevent permanent vision loss.

✅ Tests Covered in This Video:
-Slit Lamp Exam – To check optic nerve damage
-OCT (RNFL Scan) – Detects loss of nerve fibers
-Visual Field Test – Checks peripheral vision loss
-Gonioscopy – Differentiates between open-angle & angle-closure glaucoma
-Pachymetry – Measures corneal thickness to correct IOP reading
-Fundus Photography – Tracks nerve changes over time
-Applanation Tonometry – Gold standard for eye pressure check

🎯 Why Early Testing Matters:
Glaucoma is a silent thief of sight and can cause permanent blindness if not detected and treated early. Most patients don’t experience symptoms until it’s too late. That’s why these tests are essential — especially if your doctor suspects early damage.
