Glaucoma Management
Protecting your vision through early detection, advanced technology, and personalized care.
Dr. Steven Chau takes a proactive, detail-oriented approach to glaucoma management, focusing on early detection, precise monitoring, and long-term vision preservation.
By combining comprehensive eye exams with advanced diagnostic technology such as ZEISS OCT imaging and VirtualField visual field testing, Dr. Chau is able to identify subtle changes in the optic nerve and visual function before noticeable vision loss occurs.
Each patient receives a personalized care plan based on their individual risk factors, test results, and lifestyle needs, with ongoing monitoring and clear communication every step of the way. When appropriate, Dr. Chau coordinates care with ophthalmology specialists to ensure patients receive the highest level of glaucoma care possible.

Glaucoma is a serious eye condition that can cause permanent vision loss if left undetected or unmanaged. Often referred to as the “silent thief of sight,” glaucoma may progress without noticeable symptoms until significant damage has occurred. At Vision Republic, we focus on early diagnosis and precise monitoring to help preserve your vision for the long term.
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, most commonly due to elevated eye pressure or reduced blood flow to the nerve. Over time, this damage can lead to loss of peripheral (side) vision and, if untreated, blindness. Because early stages often have no warning signs, routine eye exams with advanced testing are critical.
Effective glaucoma care requires more than a basic eye exam. At Vision Republic, we use cutting-edge diagnostic technology to evaluate both the structure of the optic nerve and how well your vision is functioning. This comprehensive approach allows us to detect changes earlier, monitor progression accurately, and guide appropriate treatment or referrals when needed.
What is Glaucoma?
Our Advanced Approach to Glaucoma Management
Advanced Technology
Discover cutting-edge technology designed to help treat glaucoma effectively. Our innovative solutions empower use to care your ocular health. Take control of your vision and embrace a brighter future with our advanced glaucoma management services.
Zeiss OCT Imaging
We use industry-leading ZEISS Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to capture highly detailed images of the optic nerve and retinal nerve fiber layer. This technology allows us to identify microscopic changes that may indicate early glaucoma—often before vision loss is noticeable.
Benefits of ZEISS OCT include:
-
Early detection of optic nerve damage
-
Precise measurements to track changes over time
-
Improved accuracy in diagnosing and managing glaucoma
Virtual Field
Glaucoma typically affects peripheral vision first. VirtualField visual field testing evaluates how well you see across your entire field of vision using modern, patient-friendly technology.
VirtualField testing helps us:
-
Detect functional vision loss related to glaucoma
-
Monitor disease progression over time
-
Provide a more comfortable and efficient testing experience
Goldmann Gold Standard Tonometry
Goldmann tonometry is considered the most accurate way to check eye pressure, which is an important part of glaucoma care. During this quick and gentle test, Dr. Steven Chau measures the pressure inside your eyes to help detect glaucoma early and monitor changes over time. Accurate eye pressure readings are essential for protecting your vision and guiding the right treatment plan.
Benefits of Goldmann tonometry include:
-
Highly accurate and reliable eye pressure measurements
-
Helps detect glaucoma early and track changes over time
-
Quick, safe, and comfortable for patients
Schedule Your Glaucoma Evaluation
Early detection is the key to protecting your vision. If you have glaucoma, are at risk, or have a family history of the condition, we encourage you to schedule a comprehensive eye exam with glaucoma testing at Vision Republic.
