Glaucoma is often called the “silent thief of sight” because it can progress without any noticeable symptoms until significant vision loss has occurred. This group of eye conditions is characterized by damage to the optic nerve, usually due to elevated intraocular pressure. If left untreated, glaucoma can lead to irreversible blindness. At Raj Eye Hospital, we emphasize the importance of early detection and intervention to preserve your vision. Our specialists are highly trained in diagnosing all types of glaucoma, including open-angle glaucoma, angle-closure glaucoma, and secondary glaucomas.
Understanding glaucoma is the first step in preventing vision loss. The condition can be managed effectively if detected early, which is why regular eye exams are crucial, especially if you are at higher risk. Risk factors include age, family history, high intraocular pressure, and certain medical conditions like diabetes. At Raj Eye Hospital, we utilize advanced diagnostic tools such as tonometry, visual field testing, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) to accurately diagnose and monitor glaucoma. Our goal is to provide personalized care that addresses your specific needs, helping you maintain your sight and quality of life.
When it comes to treating glaucoma, experience and expertise are essential. At Raj Eye Hospital, we offer a comprehensive range of treatment options tailored to the type and severity of your glaucoma. From medication and laser therapy to minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS) and traditional surgical procedures, our approach is designed to effectively manage intraocular pressure and prevent further optic nerve damage. Our team of ophthalmologists is dedicated to staying at the forefront of glaucoma treatment advancements, ensuring that you receive the most effective care available.
Your journey with glaucoma management at Raj Eye Hospital begins with a thorough evaluation of your eye health. During your initial consultation, our specialists will conduct a comprehensive eye exam to determine the type and stage of glaucoma you may have. We will discuss your medical history, assess your risk factors, and perform diagnostic tests to measure intraocular pressure, assess optic nerve health, and evaluate your peripheral vision. This detailed assessment allows us to create a personalized treatment plan aimed at preserving your vision and preventing further damage.
As part of your glaucoma management plan, we will outline the treatment options best suited to your condition. This may include prescription eye drops to lower eye pressure, laser therapy to improve fluid drainage, or surgical intervention if necessary. Throughout your treatment, we will schedule regular follow-up visits to monitor your eye health and adjust your treatment plan as needed. At Raj Eye Hospital, our goal is to provide you with the highest standard of care, ensuring that you can manage your glaucoma effectively and maintain the best possible quality of life.
