Glaucoma is a serious eye disease caused by increased fluid pressure within the eye, which can damage the optic nerve that transmits images to the brain.

​

Glaucoma is known as the “silent thief of sight” as it is a symptomless disease, and people usually do not realize that they are suffering from glaucoma unless they visit the ophthalmologist or have reached an advanced stage of disease.

​

 If undiagnosed and untreated, glaucoma can lead to irreversible loss of vision and even cause blindness. Though the disease is not curable, the progress of glaucoma can be halted and total blindness can be prevented if it is detected early.

​

Its treatment includes Medication, Laser procedures  and Glaucoma Surgery in patients who are not responding to above two treatments. Early detection and regular monitoring of progression of disease is the key to prevent permanent vision loss due to Glaucoma.
