Glaucoma & Cataract Screening
Glaucoma, cataracts and macular degeneration are the quiet ones — they can build for years with no early warning. Every comprehensive exam at The $50 Eye Guy screens for all three, so changes get caught early. And if surgery is ever the answer, we point you to a trusted surgeon. Honest pricing, walk-ins seven days a week, inside Coffee Guy Underground on N Davis Hwy.
Catching the silent stuff before it steals your sight
The conditions that do the most damage to vision rarely announce themselves. Glaucoma erodes side vision so gradually you don't notice until a lot is gone. Cataracts cloud the lens a little at a time. Macular degeneration blurs the center of your view over years. A screening exists for exactly this reason — to find quiet changes while they're still easy to manage.
At The $50 Eye Guy, that screening isn't an upsell or a separate appointment. It's part of every comprehensive exam, read by a licensed optometrist, and we explain what we see in plain English. No jargon, no scare tactics — just an honest look and a clear next step.
Who should be screened
- Adults at every routine eye exam — silent conditions don't wait for symptoms
- Anyone over 40, when risk for glaucoma and cataracts starts to climb
- People with a family history of glaucoma or macular degeneration
- Diabetics and anyone who's noticed glare, halos, or fading color
What the screening covers
- Eye-pressure and optic-nerve check to flag early glaucoma
- A clear look at the lens for clouding that points to cataracts
- An exam of the back of the eye for macular degeneration
- Plain-English results and, when needed, a referral to a trusted surgeon
It's the same honest approach behind everything we do — walk in any day and get a real exam, not a quick once-over.

|---|---|---|
| Glaucoma | Optic nerve / side vision | No early warning — caught early, it's manageable |
| Cataracts | The lens of the eye | We monitor and refer to a surgeon when it's time |
| Macular degeneration | Central, detail vision | Early detection helps protect the vision you rely on |

Questions, answered
Usually not until vision is already lost. Glaucoma damages side vision so slowly that most people never notice, which is exactly why a screening on a healthy schedule matters more than waiting for symptoms.
Every comprehensive exam looks for the three quiet, sight-stealing conditions together: glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. We check eye pressure and the health of the optic nerve, the lens, and the back of the eye, then explain what we see in plain English.
We screen for and monitor cataracts, and when surgery is the right call we refer you to a trusted local surgeon. There is no pressure and no upsell — just honest guidance about whether it is time.
Most adults benefit from a screening at every routine eye exam, and people over 40 or with a family history of glaucoma or macular degeneration should not skip a year. You can walk in any day, seven days a week.
