Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that damages the optic nerve, often due to increased intraocular pressure. If left untreated, it can lead to irreversible vision loss. At Yashoda Nethralaya, we provide comprehensive glaucoma care, including early diagnosis, advanced treatment, and long-term management to preserve your vision.

Understanding Glaucoma

Glaucoma develops when fluid buildup in the eye increases pressure, damaging the optic nerve. The condition progresses silently, often without symptoms in the early stages. It is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide, making regular eye check-ups essential for early detection.

Types of Glaucoma

• Open-Angle Glaucoma: The most common form, where fluid drains too slowly, increasing eye pressure over time.

• Angle-Closure Glaucoma: A sudden rise in eye pressure due to blocked drainage channels, requiring emergency treatment.

• Normal-Tension Glaucoma: Damage to the optic nerve occurs even with normal eye pressure.

• Congenital Glaucoma: A rare condition present at birth due to abnormal eye development.

Glaucoma Diagnosis and Treatment

At Yashoda Nethralaya, we use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to detect glaucoma early and monitor its progression. Our treatment options include:

• Medications: Prescription eye drops help lower intraocular pressure and prevent further damage.

• Laser Therapy: Procedures like selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) or laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) help improve fluid drainage and reduce eye pressure.

• Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS): Advanced surgical techniques that provide long-term pressure control with minimal risk.

• Trabeculectomy & Glaucoma Drainage Implants: Traditional surgical methods for severe glaucoma cases where medications and laser treatments are insufficient.
