-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.
