Many: Many tests are done related to glaucoma. There are functional tests like visual fields, observational tests like optic nerve stereo-photos, measurement tests, like OCT's or nerve fiber analyzer's. Your ophthalmologist will determine which tests you need and how often.

Standard: The most common test for glaucoma is measuring the iop by applanation tonometry. Computerized visual field testing, optical coherence tomography, Heidelberg retinal tomography, GDx, stereo optic nerve photography, dilated funduscopy, & gonioscopy, are several other methodologies for evaluating the eye for diseases, like glaucoma.
