Glaucoma Testing & Treatment in Pearl City, Hawaii
Comprehensive screening and ongoing management for the silent thief of sight.
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of permanent vision loss — and most people don't know they have it until significant damage has already occurred. At Clear Sight Hawaii in Pearl City, we screen for glaucoma during every comprehensive eye exam and provide ongoing management for patients already diagnosed.
What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, usually caused by elevated pressure inside the eye. It is often called the "silent thief of sight" because there are no symptoms in the early stages. By the time most people notice vision changes, permanent damage has already occurred. This is why regular screening is so important.

Who Should Be Screened?
