At Jones Vision Polaris, located in Columbus, we believe in empowering our patients to make informed decisions about their eye health. With decades of experience and the latest diagnostic technology, our dedicated team is here to help you protect your vision.

This January, during Glaucoma Awareness Month, take a proactive approach to eye care with our Eye Health Wellness Assessment, designed to detect glaucoma and other conditions early.

Why Glaucoma Awareness Matters

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often due to increased eye pressure. Known as the "silent thief of sight," it can progress without noticeable symptoms until significant vision loss occurs.

What You Need to Know About Glaucoma:

  • It’s a leading cause of blindness worldwide.
  • Early detection is essential, as vision loss from glaucoma is irreversible.
  • Risk factors include age, family history, and certain health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure.

The good news? Early detection through advanced assessments can help manage glaucoma effectively.

Eye Health Wellness Assessment: Advanced Technology for Early Detection

The Eye Health Wellness Assessment at Jones Vision Polaris uses state-of-the-art imaging technology to provide a detailed view of your optic nerve and retina. This allows us to identify subtle changes that may indicate glaucoma before symptoms appear.

What to Expect During the Assessment:

  • A quick, painless procedure that fits easily into your schedule.
  • High-resolution imaging to detect even the smallest changes in your eye health.
  • A comprehensive review of results by our experienced optometrists.

Are You at Risk for Glaucoma?

Glaucoma can affect anyone, but certain factors increase your risk:

  • Adults over 40 years old.
  • A family history of glaucoma.
  • Diabetes, high blood pressure, or other chronic conditions.
  • Long-term steroid use or previous eye injuries.

If you fall into any of these categories, regular assessments are critical for maintaining your vision.
