FAQs

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, which is responsible for transmitting visual signals from the eye to the brain. It is often caused by increased pressure in the eye and can lead to permanent vision loss if left untreated. 
The risk factors for glaucoma include age (being over 50 years old), family history of glaucoma, elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), near-sightedness, previous eye injuries or surgeries, and certain medical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular diseases. 
In the early stages, glaucoma may not have noticeable symptoms. However, as the condition progresses, it may cause symptoms such as loss of peripheral vision, headaches, blurred vision, halos around lights and pain or redness in the eyes. Regular comprehensive eye examinations, including measurement of eye pressure, are essential for early detection of glaucoma. 
Yes, glaucoma can affect both eyes, although the severity and progression may vary in each eye. Regular eye examinations are crucial in detecting and managing glaucoma in both eyes. 
Glaucoma is diagnosed through a comprehensive eye examination that includes measuring intraocular pressure (IOP), examining the optic nerve head and assessing the visual field. Additional tests, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and gonioscopy, may also be performed to determine the type and severity of glaucoma. 
The treatment options for glaucoma depend on the type and severity of the condition. They may include eye drops to lower intraocular pressure, oral medications, laser therapy, and surgery. Nethradhama Super Speciality Eye Hospital offers advanced glaucoma management options, including minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) and traditional glaucoma surgery, tailored to the individual needs of the patient. 
Glaucoma is a chronic eye condition that cannot be cured, but it can be managed effectively to prevent or slow down the progression of vision loss.

Our experienced Glaucoma specialists at Nethradhama Super Speciality Eye Hospital will develop a customized treatment plan based on the type and stage of glaucoma to provide optimal care for our patients.

Regular eye examinations, early detection, and timely treatment are crucial in managing the disease.
