Glaucoma Services
The eye is flled with a nourishing fuid called aqueous humour. The pressure of this fuid maintains the spherical shape of the eyeball much like the air in a football.
Glaucoma is a disease where there is an abnormal increase in pressure , enough to damage the inside of the eye very often , it is silent and does not cause pain , which makes it a more dangerous killer of sight. It is a disease , which if not diagnosed and treated in time can have disastrous consequences like blindness
Glaucoma most often occurs in adults over age of 45, but it can also occur in young adults, children, and even in infants.

The following are symptoms of glaucoma - Loss of vision, seeing halos around lights, narrowing of vision (tunnel vision), redness in the eye, Dimness of vision, nausea or vomiting, pain in the eye
Regular eye examinations by your ophthalmologist are the best way to detect glaucoma. During your glaucoma evaluation, your ophthalmologist will
- Measures your intraocular pressure (tonometry) along with pachymetry
- Inspect the drainage angle of your eye (gonioscopy)
- anterior segment imaging techniques like ultrasonic biomicroscopy, OCT for imaging angle accurately.
- Evaluate whether or not there is any OPTIC NERVE DAMAGE
( OPHTHALMOSCOPY) - Test the peripheral vision of each eye (visual fled testing or perimetry)
- Objective optic disc evaluation (OCT, GDX, HRT)
Damagecausedby glaucoma is irreversible, butmedicationsor surgery are used to help prevent further loss of vision. Prescription eye drops or pills are also used in the early stages of these conditions.If medications don’t work, your eyes doctor may
