Glaucoma Treatment

Glaucoma, often referred to as the "silent thief of sight," typically exhibits no symptoms in its early stages. The condition occurs when there is increased pressure within the eye, leading to damage of the optic nerve. Without timely intervention, glaucoma can result in irreversible vision loss and blindness.

To ensure accurate diagnosis and the most appropriate treatment plan, our experienced ophthalmologists conduct a thorough evaluation. This comprehensive assessment may involve measuring intraocular pressure, examining the optic nerve, performing visual field tests, and utilizing advanced imaging techniques.

Treatment options for glaucoma include:

• Eye Drops: Medicated eye drops are commonly prescribed as the initial line of treatment. These drops work by reducing intraocular pressure and preventing further damage to the optic nerve. Our knowledgeable professionals will guide you on the proper administration and frequency of eye drops.
• Laser Therapy: Laser procedures, such as selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) or laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI), can improve the outflow of fluid from the eye or create a new drainage channel. These minimally invasive procedures help lower intraocular pressure and are typically performed in an outpatient setting.
• Microsurgery: In advanced cases or when other treatments are ineffective, our skilled ophthalmic surgeons may recommend traditional surgery. Procedures like trabeculectomy, glaucoma drainage devices, or minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) can be performed to create a new drainage pathway, reducing intraocular pressure and preserving vision.

In addition to the primary treatment options, our clinic also emphasizes the importance of lifestyle modifications and holistic approaches to support glaucoma management. This may include recommendations for regular exercise, maintaining a healthy diet rich in antioxidants, avoiding smoking, managing stress levels, and controlling systemic conditions like diabetes and hypertension. Regular monitoring and management are crucial for glaucoma. Our compassionate team will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan and schedule regular follow-up visits to monitor your eye health, adjust treatment as needed, and ensure the best possible outcomes.
