Glaucoma Services

At Monnow Eyecare, we understand how worrying a glaucoma diagnosis can feel. That’s why we are proud to host dedicated Glaucoma Clinics here in Monmouth, working in partnership with the Royal Gwent Hospital to bring specialist care closer to you. Our patients tell us they value the convenience, the clear explanations, and the genuine warmth of our team at every appointment.

Monnow Eyecare Awarded Glaucoma Clinic Tender

Following a successful year-long pilot in Monmouth, Monnow Eyecare now hosts regular Glaucoma Clinics on behalf of the Royal Gwent Hospital. These clinics enable us to monitor and treat both diagnosed and suspected glaucoma patients, using secure remote links to the hospital for fast, joined-up care.

Comprehensive Testing and Monitoring

Our Glaucoma service combines state-of-the-art technology with thorough clinical expertise. Every clinic includes:

• A detailed patient history review, including current medications
• Visual field testing to map peripheral vision
• Eye-pressure measurement to track intraocular pressure
• Corneal thickness assessment for precise pressure interpretation
• Advanced imaging of the optic nerve head using our Topcon Triton OCT and DNEye Scanner
• All findings are shared electronically and securely with hospital consultants, ensuring your care plan is always up to date and tailored to your needs.

Highly Trained Team

You will be seen by one of our two specialist-qualified optometrists, both holding advanced accreditation in glaucoma care. Their expertise means fewer delays in follow-up and clearer advice on treatment options. Patients frequently comment on how our team explains each step in plain language and listens with genuine empathy.
