The word “GLAUCOMA” is used to represent a variety of eye conditions that harm the optic nerve and are brought on by an increase in intraocular pressure. It is a hereditary condition that, if left untreated, can result in permanent eyesight loss. Modern diagnostic tools for measuring intraocular pressure, such as Optical coherence tomography, Non- contact tonometry, Applanation tonometry and umphrey visual field analyzer (perimetry test) have been added to the glaucoma section at TECTONA EYE HOSPITAL.
We will be able to give our patients the best care and therapy if glaucoma is caught early. For early detection, it’s crucial to frequently monitor your eye's intraocular pressure. Our cutting – edge equipment and excellent caliber of work have always enabled us to give our patients the finest care possible.
Glaucoma symptoms can occasionally be subtle and easy to ignore. Therefore, it’s crucial to get regular eye exams to find this condition. In contrast, severe symptoms of another form of glaucoma include ocular discomfort or pressure, headache, reduced vision, blurred vision, nausea and red eyes.
Those who have diabetes are more likely to get glaucoma. A family history of glaucoma, high blood pressure, prolonged use of corticosteroids, prior eye damage, far farsightedness and near nearsightedness are among the risk factors for glaucoma.
Glaucoma may be present and go undetected until advanced stages. It’s crucial to get routine eye exams to detect glaucoma at an early stage. A dilated eye examination, Gonioscopy, Optical coherence tomography and an ocular pressure test are some of the painless procedures used to detect glaucoma.
Glaucoma that is left untreated can quickly progress to the development of blindness or irreversible visual loss. Treatments given in the later prevent further eye sight loss, but they cannot make up for it. Depending on the kind of glaucoma, many treatments are available, such as laser surgery, micro surgery or prescription eye drops. You can rely on the skilled ophthalmologists of Tectona Eye Hospital to identify and treat glaucoma effectively.
