GDx Access™

With the GDx Access it is now possible to detect glaucoma at a much earlier stage than ever before. This is especially significant because glaucoma typically causes no symptoms in the early stages.

Why we've invested in GDx Access™:

GDx Access can detect glaucoma long before patients begin to lose their sight, allowing treatment to be initiated to preserve maximum vision.
GDx Access uses a safe, infrared laser to measure the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer, allowing doctors to determine early on whether structural damage has been done to the eye.
The patented GDx Access is the only screening technology available that directly and objectively evaluates the nerve fiber layer of the eye.
The GDx Access screening test is a comfortable, in-office procedure that does not require pupil dilation or drops in the eye.
The traditional eye pressure check is unable to detect glaucoma in many patients - 50 percent of glaucoma patients do not have high or abnormal pressure results. This device can identify those patients.
