Next Steps

Follow-up

Because glaucoma causes silent damage, continuous follow-up care is essential to monitor any progressive change over time that may warrant treatment. The frequency of your follow-up visits also depends on the following:

  • Age

  • Level of IOP elevation

  • Optic nerve appearance

  • Family history of glaucoma

  • Presence of additional risk factors

  • Any progression of disease
