Answer (2)

The standard eye test used to test for glaucoma is called tonometry , which measures the pressure inside the eye. Other tests like retinoscopy and slit-lamp examination are important for eye health but do not specifically assess glaucoma risk. Early detection through tonometry can prevent vision loss from glaucoma. ;
