Dallas, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/07/2011 -- The Eye Doctor's Office & Eye Gallery, a Dallas eye doctor's office http://www.eyedoctordallas.com that specializes in high quality eye care, has recently embraced the new GDX technology for early detection of glaucoma. Glaucoma causes blindness due to the degeneration of optic nerve fibers. The GDX nerve fiber layer scanning technology painlessly scans, in less than 90 seconds, the optic fibers that degenerate in glaucoma.

Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in the United States. In most cases it's a painless loss of peripheral vision. Dr. Bob Consor, Optometrist, an Optometric Glaucoma Specialist in Dallas Texas http://www.eyedoctordallas.com/our-services/glaucoma.html states that, "Glaucoma can be detected early through yearly eye examinations and through the use of the new GDX nerve fiber layer scanning technology."
