Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a long-lasting (chronic) progressive eye condition; A Group of various Disorders in which the leading risk factor is higher fluid pressure within the eye.

All Glaucoma Disorders are identified by vision loss, caused by damage to the delicate Optic Nerve. The Optic Nerve maintains the pathway to the brain from the eyeball.

Any vision loss which has happened before Glaucoma, cannot be reversed, this is why a regular EYE Check-Up is essential.

If an Eye Doctor detects it early, and the patient follows the instructions carefully, the damaging effects of Glaucoma can be addressed and can be taken care of.

Various researches have shown that Glaucoma is a primary reason for blindness in a vast number of people who are at the age of sixty or above.

Although the problem can happen at any age, it is more common in adults. The problem does not exhibit any warning signs.

One may be able to notice the difference when the Glaucoma condition has developed to the advanced stage. Still, the Eye vision loss is not able to be recovered, so make sure to visit your EYE doctor for a regular eye examination which might include few tests and measurement of the eye pressure.

Glaucoma occurs when increased intraocular pressure damages the optic nerve, which is essential for transmitting visual information to the brain. This pressure buildup can result from improper drainage of eye fluid. Factors that increase the risk include genetics, aging (especially over 60), previous eye injuries, prolonged use of corticosteroid medications, and certain health conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or severe nearsightedness. If untreated, glaucoma can lead to irreversible vision loss or blindness.

Our process starts with a thorough eye examination, including measuring eye pressure, assessing the optic nerve, and conducting visual field tests. Based on the severity of the condition, we recommend tailored treatment options, which may include prescription eye drops, laser therapy, or minimally invasive surgical procedures. We prioritize patient education and ongoing monitoring to ensure that glaucoma is managed properly and vision is preserved.
