About Glaucoma & Cataract Screenings

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What are the early signs of glaucoma?

Glaucoma usually has no early symptoms, which is why routine screening with eye-pressure and OCT testing is essential, especially after age 40 or with a family history.

Do you remove cataracts?

Cataract removal is a surgical procedure. Dr. Fernandez diagnoses cataracts, monitors their progression, refers you to a trusted surgeon when appropriate, and provides pre- and post-operative care.
