Understanding Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often due to high intraocular pressure. If left untreated, glaucoma can lead to irreversible vision loss. Early detection and treatment are crucial to preserving vision.
Advanced Surgical Techniques
We employ state-of-the-art techniques to manage and treat glaucoma, including:
Laser Surgery
Minimally invasive procedures to reduce intraocular pressure.
Trabeculectomy
A surgical procedure that creates a drainage pathway to lower eye pressure.
Drainage Implants
Tiny devices implanted to help fluid drain from the eye, reducing pressure.
Personalized Care
Each patient receives a thorough evaluation to determine the most effective treatment plan. We understand that every patient’s condition is unique, and we tailor our approach to meet individual needs, ensuring optimal outcomes.
Your Journey to Better Vision
What are the symptoms of Glaucoma? (Symptoms depend on the type of glaucoma the individual has)
- Those who have chronic glaucoma may not be aware of any symptoms because the disease develops slowly and patients rarely notice loss of peripheral vision.
- Those who have an acute form of glaucoma may develop severe symptoms because ocular pressure rises quickly and they may experience:
- Blurred vision, especially at night
- Halos or rainbows around lights
- Severe headaches or eye pain
- Nausea
Note: In most cases, glaucoma is asymptomatic (has no symptoms). By the time an individual experiences decreased vision, the disease is frequently in its latter stages. Since early warning signs of glaucoma are rare, it is important — especially for those at risk to have medical eye examinations at appropriate intervals, as described in this section.
Who are at risk?
Anyone can suffer from glaucoma. But some people are at more risk than others and risk factors are:
- Increasing age.
- Nearsightedness
- Family history of glaucoma children & siblings of known glaucoma patients should get their eyes checked regularly.
- Previous eye injuries or surgeries.
- Other diseases such as diabetes or high blood pressure.
- Thin Corneas are a risk factor for Glaucoma.
Can Glaucoma be prevented?
- Glaucoma generally has no signs or symptoms until serious loss of vision has occurred.
- If you have a family history of Glaucoma you are at a higher risk and hence need a regular eye check-up. Everyone, from babies to senior citizens, is at risk of developing this disease.
- The best way to protect against the damage is early diagnosis, proper treatment, and regular follow-ups.
- You and your doctor will need to become partners and work together to control your condition and prevent it from advancing.
