In support of National Glaucoma Awareness Month, VisionRx has launched its groundbreaking online glaucoma test, known as GlaucomaCheck(TM). Now anyone can screen for glaucoma in the convenience of their own home. Glaucoma is one of the two leading causes of blindness. Over half of those people affected do not know that they have the disease because early glaucoma symptoms can only be detected using specialized tests. Damage to the retina caused by the disease is permanent and irreversible. However, once diagnosed glaucoma can be treated and stopped. Early diagnosis is crucial to prevent irreversible vision loss. While anyone can get the disease, major glaucoma risk factors include: age over 45, family history of glaucoma, significant nearsightedness and diabetes.

GlaucomaCheck(TM) is what eyecare professionals refer to as a visual field test. It is the first and only patented online glaucoma test accurate and sensitive enough to be used by doctors. First provided online in 1999, GlaucomaCheck(TM) was, in fact, originally designed for eye doctors. It is inexpensive, fast (less than one minute per eye) and easy to use. It provides immediate results with AutoAnalysis(TM). GlaucomaCheck(TM) helps detect glaucoma early -- before the damage is done.

VisionRx is a professional vision test software company that provides glaucoma tests for everyone. VisionRx is dedicated to helping raise awareness, improving detection, and the eventual elimination of glaucoma and other eye diseases.
