What is the follow-up plan?

After your glaucoma consultation there are several possibilities for how you will be followed-up in the future. This depends on what we find.

If you do not have glaucoma and lack risk factors to put you at risk of developing glaucoma, then you will be followed-up by your referring doctor and we would gladly see you again in the future if circumstances change that may increase your glaucoma risk.

If you are a glaucoma suspect, then this means that you have some risk factors for glaucoma but not enough in the way of convincing findings that you have glaucoma. You will then be followed-up every 4-6 months for at least 3 visits to see if there is any sign of progression to glaucoma over the following 1-2 years.

If you have glaucoma, you will be followed on a regular basis and treated by medical, laser or surgery as needed.
