Protect Your Vision with Expert Glaucoma Management

What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often caused by increased pressure in the eye (intraocular pressure). This silent yet serious condition can lead to irreversible vision loss if left untreated. It typically develops slowly, with no noticeable symptoms in the early stages, making regular eye exams crucial for early detection. Although there is no cure for glaucoma, advanced treatments can effectively manage the condition and prevent further vision loss, allowing patients to maintain a good quality of life.

Common Symptoms of Cataracts:

  • Gradual loss of peripheral (side) vision, often unnoticed.
  • Tunnel vision in advanced stages.
  • Eye pain or discomfort in some cases.
  • Blurred or hazy vision.
  • Seeing halos around lights, especially at night.

The Procedure

Glaucoma management involves a range of treatments tailored to the patient’s specific needs. Here’s an overview of the steps involved:

  1. Diagnosis: Comprehensive eye exams, including intraocular pressure measurement, optic nerve imaging, and visual field tests, to detect glaucoma early.
  2. Treatment Options:
    • Medications: Eye drops to lower intraocular pressure and slow the progression of glaucoma.
    • Laser Therapy: Minimally invasive procedures such as laser trabeculoplasty to improve fluid drainage in the eye.
    • Surgical Intervention: Advanced surgical techniques like trabeculectomy or implant surgery for severe cases to reduce eye pressure.
  3. Follow-Up Care: Regular monitoring and adjustment of treatment plans to ensure effective long-term management.
