Eye Health, Glaucoma

Would you know if you had glaucoma? 

In most cases, the answer is no. Glaucoma damages vision silently until it’s too late. That’s why proactive screenings are vital. At ADV Vision, we believe eye care means staying ahead of disease—not just reacting to it. 

Through advanced technology and patient-centered care, we help individuals in Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Maria, safeguard their eyesight.

Why You Shouldn’t Delay Screening

Glaucoma slowly damages the optic nerve, often from elevated pressure inside the eye. Once vision is lost, it cannot be regained. But with early detection, treatments can prevent further decline. 

Take Our Glaucoma Self-Test

Not sure if you’re at risk? Our Glaucoma Self-Test is a quick, simple way to check your symptoms and risk factors from home. It’s not a substitute for a professional eye exam, but it can help you decide if it’s time to schedule a glaucoma evaluation.
