Glaucoma suspect

Description

A diagnosis for glaucoma suspect is established by the presence of one of the following conditions: a consistently elevated intra-ocular pressure (IOP), a suspicious-appearing optic nerve, or abnormal visual field. Clinicians must be aware of the triad of optic nerve, visual field, and IOP. When an outlier in one or more of those areas is found, further investigation is warranted.
