Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, often due to high intraocular pressure (IOP). If left untreated, glaucoma can lead to permanent vision loss. At Doctor Misurya Netralaya, we offer early diagnosis and advanced treatment options to manage glaucoma effectively.
Types of Glaucoma We Treat
- Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma: The most common type, where the drainage angle in the eye becomes blocked over time.
- Angle-Closure Glaucoma: Occurs when the angle between the cornea and the iris becomes too narrow, increasing eye pressure.
- Normal-Tension Glaucoma: Glaucoma that develops despite normal intraocular pressure.
Diagnostic Tools for Glaucoma
- Tonometry: Measures intraocular pressure.
- OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography): An imaging technique that helps visualize the optic nerve and detect damage.
- Visual Field Testing: Measures the range of vision and detects early signs of glaucoma.
Treatment Options
- Medications: Eye drops or oral medications to reduce intraocular pressure.
- Laser Therapy: Includes procedures like trabeculoplasty or iridotomy to improve drainage and reduce IOP.
- Surgical Interventions: If glaucoma is not controlled by medication or laser treatment, surgical options such as trabeculectomy or tube shunt surgery may be recommended.
