Glaucoma Treatment at SRG Eye Hospital

Safeguard Your Vision with Early Detection and Expert Care

Glaucoma is a chronic, progressive eye condition that can lead to irreversible vision loss if not detected and treated early. At SRG Eye Hospital, we provide advanced diagnostic tools and tailored treatments to manage this condition and protect your sight.

What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a group of disorders characterized by damage to the optic nerve, often caused by elevated fluid pressure within the eye (intraocular pressure).

  • Optic Nerve Damage: The optic nerve transmits visual information from the eye to the brain, and its damage leads to vision loss.
  • Progressive Nature: Vision loss from glaucoma is gradual, often without noticeable symptoms until advanced stages.

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide, particularly among individuals aged 60 and above.

Causes of Glaucoma

Glaucoma is often linked to:

  • Elevated Intraocular Pressure: Caused by improper drainage of fluid within the eye.
  • Genetics: A family history of glaucoma increases the risk.
  • Age: More common in adults over 40, particularly after 60.
  • Medical Conditions: Diabetes, hypertension, or certain eye conditions.
  • Injury: Previous eye trauma or surgeries.

Symptoms of Glaucoma

Early stages of glaucoma are typically asymptomatic. However, as the condition progresses, symptoms may include:

  • Gradual loss of peripheral (side) vision.
  • Blurred or tunnel vision.
  • Severe eye pain (in acute cases).
  • Halos around lights.
  • Redness in the eye or frequent headaches.
