Screening for glaucoma is usually performed as part of a comprehensive [[eye examination]] performed by [[ophthalmologist]]s and [[optometrist]]s. Assessment for glaucoma consists of two branches of tests: structural and functional. Structural analysis investigates glaucomatous changes in the eye's anatomical and physiological properties, whereas functional analysis involves [[psychometric]] testing to evaluate how glaucomatous disease has affected the eye's ability to function normally.

Screening for glaucoma is usually performed as part of a comprehensive eye examination performed by ophthalmologists and optometrists. Assessment for glaucoma consists of two branches of tests: structural and functional. Structural analysis investigates glaucomatous changes in the eye's anatomical and physiological properties, whereas functional analysis involves psychometric testing to evaluate how glaucomatous disease has affected the eye's ability to function normally.
