Glaucoma

What Is Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a serious eye condition that damages the optic nerve, usually due to increased pressure within the eye (intraocular pressure). It is often called the “silent thief of sight” because it develops slowly and without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. If left untreated, glaucoma can lead to permanent vision loss or even blindness. There are several types of glaucoma, including open-angle glaucoma (the most common form), angle-closure glaucoma, normal-tension glaucoma, and congenital glaucoma. Most people may not realize they have it until significant damage has occurred. That’s why regular eye check-ups are essential, especially after the age of 40 or if you have a family history of glaucoma. At Maruthi Eye and Dental Hospital, we offer comprehensive glaucoma screening and advanced diagnostic tools such as tonometry, visual field testing, and OCT scans to detect early signs of the disease. Our experienced ophthalmologists provide customized treatment plans, which may include medications, laser therapy, or surgery to manage eye pressure and preserve vision. Early detection and consistent care are the keys to controlling glaucoma and preventing vision loss. Trust our expert team for your lifelong eye health.
