Comprehensive Glaucoma Services

At Drsusheel Eye Care, we are committed to preserving your vision through our specialized glaucoma services. Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible vision loss, but with early diagnosis and ongoing management, its progression can often be slowed or halted. Our comprehensive glaucoma services include advanced screening, diagnostic testing, personalized treatment plans, and ongoing care to protect your eye health and quality of life.

 

Understanding Glaucoma

Glaucoma is an eye condition caused by damage to the optic nerve, often due to increased intraocular pressure. Known as the “silent thief of sight,” glaucoma often shows no early symptoms until significant vision loss occurs. Types of glaucoma include open-angle, angle-closure, and secondary glaucoma, each requiring specialized care. At Drsusheel, we provide a range of glaucoma services designed to detect, manage, and treat this condition at every stage.

Glaucoma Diagnostic Services

Early diagnosis is essential for successful glaucoma management. At Drsusheel Eye Care, we use state-of-the-art technology for early detection, including:

  • Intraocular Pressure (IOP) Testing: Measures eye pressure, a key factor in detecting glaucoma.
  • Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): High-resolution imaging of the optic nerve to detect changes associated with glaucoma.
  • Visual Field Testing: Evaluates peripheral vision to detect early vision loss caused by glaucoma.
  • Corneal Thickness Measurement (Pachymetry): Provides insights into intraocular pressure readings and risk assessment.

Personalized Glaucoma Treatment Options

Effective glaucoma treatment requires a personalized approach. At Drsusheel Eye Care, we offer a range of treatment options based on the type and stage of glaucoma:

  • Medication Management: Prescription eye drops to lower intraocular pressure and manage early-stage glaucoma.
  • Laser Therapy: Minimally invasive treatments, such as Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT), to reduce eye pressure and improve fluid drainage.
  • Surgical Options: For advanced glaucoma, we offer surgical interventions, including trabeculectomy and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), to relieve pressure and protect vision.

FAQ's

1: How often should I have my eyes checked for glaucoma?

Regular eye exams are crucial for early detection. For those over age 40 or with risk factors, we recommend annual glaucoma screenings.

2: Can glaucoma be cured?

While glaucoma cannot be cured, its progression can often be controlled with early diagnosis and proper treatment, helping to preserve vision.

3: What are the symptoms of glaucoma?

Most types of glaucoma have no early symptoms. Advanced stages may cause blind spots or peripheral vision loss, which is why regular screenings are essential.

4: Is laser treatment effective for glaucoma?

Yes, laser treatments can be highly effective for certain types of glaucoma, particularly in reducing intraocular pressure. Our specialists will determine the most suitable treatment for you.
