Expert Glaucoma Diagnosis & Management

Glaucoma Treatment

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that cause damage to the optic nerve, often due to high intraocular pressure (IOP). It is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. The condition usually progresses slowly and without symptoms, making regular eye exams essential for early detection.

At Heritage Eye Hospital, we offer comprehensive glaucoma care using state-of-the-art diagnostic tools like Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), visual field testing, and Goldmann applanation tonometry. Our glaucoma specialists provide tailored treatment plans, including eye drops, laser therapy, and advanced surgical interventions such as trabeculectomy and glaucoma drainage devices.

Glaucoma FAQ's

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, essential for good vision. This damage is often caused by abnormally high pressure in the eye and can lead to blindness if untreated.
Glaucoma is diagnosed using a combination of tests: eye pressure measurement, optic nerve imaging (OCT), visual field tests, gonioscopy, and corneal thickness measurements.
Glaucoma cannot be cured, but it can be controlled. Early diagnosis and ongoing treatment can help preserve vision and prevent further loss.
Treatment includes medicated eye drops to lower pressure, laser procedures (like SLT), and surgical procedures such as trabeculectomy or implantation of drainage devices.
