Glaucoma Treatment

Glaucoma is an eye condition caused by increased intraocular pressure that damages the optic nerve, leading to gradual vision loss if left untreated. Since it often develops without noticeable symptoms in the early stages, regular eye checkups and timely treatment are crucial to preserve vision.

When Glaucoma Treatment is Needed?

  • Gradual loss of peripheral vision

  • Frequent headaches or eye pain

  • Blurred vision or halos around lights

  • Sudden vision loss (in acute cases)

  • Family history of glaucoma

Types of Glaucoma Treatment

  • Medications (Eye Drops & Tablets):

    • Reduce fluid production or improve drainage in the eye.

  • Laser Therapy:

    • Laser Trabeculoplasty: Improves fluid outflow.

    • Laser Iridotomy: Creates a small opening to relieve pressure.

  • Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS):

    • Short recovery and fewer complications.

  • Traditional Surgery (Trabeculectomy):

    • Creates a new drainage pathway for advanced cases.
