Early detection and management of glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration.
Overview
About Glaucoma & Cataract Screenings
Glaucoma is called the "silent thief of sight" because it causes no symptoms until vision is already lost. Eye Q Hawaii uses OCT imaging, visual-field testing, and pressure monitoring to detect glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration early, and to coordinate surgical referrals when needed.

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.
