Glaucoma Management

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.


What is Glaucoma?

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.


Symptoms of Glaucoma

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.


Advanced Diagnostic Evaluation

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.


Treatment Options

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.
