Dr. Chaitanya Vemu’s Eye Clinic
Glaucoma is a serious eye condition that damages the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure inside the eye. If left untreated, it can lead to gradual and permanent vision loss.
At our clinic, we provide comprehensive Glaucoma Management with early detection, advanced diagnostic tools, and personalized treatment plans to protect your vision for the long term.
Glaucoma is often called the “silent thief of sight” because it usually develops slowly without noticeable symptoms in the early stages. It progressively damages the optic nerve, which is essential for transmitting visual signals to the brain.
There are different types of glaucoma, including:
Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma
Angle-Closure Glaucoma
Normal-Tension Glaucoma
Secondary Glaucoma
Early diagnosis is crucial to prevent permanent vision damage.
In many cases, early glaucoma has no symptoms. As the condition progresses, you may notice:
Gradual loss of peripheral (side) vision
Tunnel vision in advanced stages
Eye pain (in acute cases)
Headache
Blurred vision
Halos around lights
Nausea or vomiting (in sudden angle-closure glaucoma)
If you experience any of these symptoms, immediate evaluation is essential.
We use modern technology to accurately detect and monitor glaucoma, including:
Intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement
Visual field testing
Optic nerve evaluation
Corneal thickness measurement
OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) imaging
Regular screening is especially important for individuals over 40, diabetics, and those with a family history of glaucoma.
While glaucoma damage cannot be reversed, early treatment can slow or stop its progression.
1. Medications
Prescription eye drops to reduce eye pressure.
2. Laser Treatment
Laser procedures to improve fluid drainage and lower eye pressure.
3. Surgical Management
Advanced surgical techniques may be recommended if medications and laser treatments are insufficient.
Our specialists create a customized treatment plan based on the type and severity of glaucoma.
