Glaucoma Screening in Greenland, NH – Early Detection

Icare Tonometry Testing

Glaucoma is often linked to increased intraocular pressure (IOP). Our Icare Tonometry Testing offers a quick, highly accurate, and painless glaucoma screening, measuring eye pressure without the discomfort of traditional air-puff tests.

Glaucoma Screening FAQs

Does glaucoma have early symptoms?

Often not. Early glaucoma usually has no symptoms, which is why regular eye exams matter.

Is the eye pressure test painful?

No. We use the Icare tonometer, which checks your eye pressure without the air puff and without drops.

How often should I be checked for glaucoma?

Glaucoma screening is part of every comprehensive eye exam. Your eye doctor will tell you how often to come back based on your eye health and risk factors.

What happens if my results show signs of glaucoma?

Your doctor explains the results and, if more testing or treatment is needed, refers you to a specialist and coordinates your care.

Do both doctors perform glaucoma screening?

Yes. Dr. Amy Catalano Boyer and Dr. Susan Gallant-Behan both perform glaucoma screening as part of the comprehensive eye exam.

Will my insurance cover a glaucoma screening?

Glaucoma screening is part of the eye exam. We accept VSP and EyeMed vision plans, plus Blue Cross Blue Shield (Anthem), Federal Blue Cross Blue Shield for medical eye visits, Cigna, Aetna, and Harvard Pilgrim. Call us at 603-828-9601 so we can verify your plan.

About Glaucoma

What Is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that can cause vision loss and blindness by damaging the optic nerve, according to the National Eye Institute. Early glaucoma often has no symptoms, so many people don’t know they have it until their side (peripheral) vision is affected. The most common type, open-angle glaucoma, develops slowly; angle-closure glaucoma is less common and can come on suddenly with eye pain, headache and blurred vision, which needs urgent care. Regular eye exams help find glaucoma early.

Who is at higher risk?

The National Eye Institute lists people over age 60, people with a family history of glaucoma, and African Americans over age 40 as being at higher risk. Tell your eye doctor if glaucoma runs in your family. The Glaucoma Research Foundation notes that adults with diabetes are twice as likely to get glaucoma, one more reason to keep up with your diabetic eye exam.
