Glaucoma

What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, which is vital for good vision. This damage is often caused by abnormally high intraocular pressure (IOP). Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness if not diagnosed and treated early.

Types of Glaucoma

  • Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG) – The most common type, develops gradually without noticeable symptoms.

  • Angle-Closure Glaucoma – Develops quickly with symptoms like severe eye pain, nausea, and blurred vision – a medical emergency.

  • Normal-Tension Glaucoma – Optic nerve damage occurs even though eye pressure remains within the normal range.

  • Congenital Glaucoma – Present at birth due to abnormal eye development.

  • Secondary Glaucoma – Caused by injury, inflammation, or certain medications.

Treatment for Glaucoma

  • Eye Drops – To lower intraocular pressure (e.g., prostaglandins, beta-blockers, alpha agonists).

  • Oral Medications – To reduce eye pressure when eye drops are insufficient.

  • Laser Treatment – Procedures like Laser Trabeculoplasty to improve fluid drainage.

  • Surgery – Trabeculectomy or Tube Shunt Surgery to create a new drainage pathway when medications fail.

Our hospital uses advanced diagnostic tools (Visual Field Test, OCT, Tonometry) and innovative treatment techniques for optimal glaucoma management.
