How is glaucoma diagnosed (POAG)?

0

The key is to identify loss of nerve fibers. Loss of nerve fibers is suspected from the appearance of the nerve in the back of the eye. A positive Visual Fields test or the GDx Test confirms it. Sometimes, when the pressure in the eye is very high, glaucoma is diagnosed even without proving nerve fiber loss.
