February is Glaucoma Awareness Month, highlighting a condition that affects an estimated 1.8 million Nigerians—making us the country with the highest glaucoma prevalence in Africa. Even more concerning, up to 90% of cases remain undiagnosed until vision loss has already begun. At Megavision Eye Clinic, our advanced glaucoma screening and management services provide comprehensive care across our three convenient Lagos locations.
Why Nigerians Face Higher Glaucoma Risk: Act Now
Studies show people of African descent are up to 8 times more likely to develop glaucoma and experience more aggressive disease progression. Don’t become a statistic—schedule your glaucoma screening today by calling 08025314335.
Critical Risk Factors for Lagos Residents

Why Early Detection Is Essential
Glaucoma earned its reputation as the “silent thief of sight” because:
- Early stages produce no noticeable symptoms
- Vision loss begins peripherally, often unnoticed
- Once vision is lost, it cannot be restored
- Early treatment can preserve remaining vision indefinitely
Don’t wait for symptoms—they come too late. Schedule your preventive glaucoma screening at Megavision Eye Clinic by calling 07042968643 now.
Advanced Glaucoma Detection at Megavision Eye Clinic
Our specialized diagnostic technology surpasses standard eye pressure tests to catch glaucoma in its earliest stages:
1. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
This advanced imaging technology measures your retinal nerve fiber layer thickness with micrometer precision, detecting damage up to 5 years before visual field changes occur.
Our OCT screening packages start at ₦15,000. Schedule yours today by calling 08021140307.
2. Visual Field Testing
Our computerized visual field analysis accurately maps your peripheral vision to detect subtle changes indicative of early glaucoma damage.
Comprehensive visual field testing available at all three locations. Book your appointment by calling 08025314335 today.
