Do you suspect that you could be developing glaucoma or some form of ocular disorder? Glaucoma usually does not present symptoms as it develops, but you can prevent the damage to your eyes with regular tests at the Brisbane Eye Clinic in Aspley.
Located at Suite 6 of the Aspley Homemaker Centre on Zillmere Road, Brisbane Eye Clinic makes use of advanced technology to detect, diagnose, and treat eye conditions. While glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness and still has no known cure, it can be managed with early intervention from the clinic’s experts.
According to Glaucoma Australia, about 50 percent of Australians go about their lives undiagnosed for this condition. But once you hit 40, eye care must be part of your general health and wellness routine. Do you know that one in 200 Australians could develop glaucoma by age 40?
Yet there is hope for people suffering from glaucoma using a minimally invasive breakthrough microscopic eye implant technology. This fixes the cloudy vision and prevents optic nerve damage while eliminating the need for frequent glaucoma eyedrops.
This technology comes in different models like Cypass, Hydrus, iStent and Xen Stent. The latter was actually developed and invented by scientists at the Lion Eye Institute (LEI) in Perth.
To know about this new technology and for other concerns about your eye’s health, visit Brisbane Eye Clinic for a consultation. Hours of operation are Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
