Glaucoma Management

Protecting Your Vision from the Silent Thief of Sight

Glaucoma is a progressive condition often caused by elevated **intraocular pressure (IOP)**, which damages the optic nerve and leads to irreversible vision loss. Early diagnosis and consistent management are critical to preserving sight.

At Shri Krishna Eye & Dental Hospital, we offer comprehensive glaucoma screening, advanced diagnostic tools (including OCT and Perimetry), and personalized treatment plans ranging from medication and laser procedures to advanced **Trabeculectomy** surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions About Glaucoma

No. Vision lost due to glaucoma is **irreversible**. The goal of all glaucoma treatment—medication, laser, or surgery—is to prevent further damage and preserve your remaining sight by controlling the intraocular pressure (IOP).

If you are over 40 and have no risk factors, every 2 to 4 years. If you have risk factors (family history, high IOP, diabetes), screening should be done every **1 to 2 years** or as recommended by your eye doctor.

**Open-angle glaucoma** is chronic and develops slowly as the eye's drainage angle is open but inefficient. **Angle-closure glaucoma** is acute or chronic and occurs when the drainage angle is physically blocked, causing a rapid, painful spike in IOP.

Yes, this is called **Normal-Tension Glaucoma (NTG)**. In these cases, optic nerve damage occurs even when the IOP is within the statistically normal range, suggesting other factors (like blood flow) are involved. It requires careful monitoring and treatment.
