Glaucoma Services
Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness, but with early detection and proper treatment, vision loss can often be prevented. Our Glaucoma Services include comprehensive testing and treatments:
- Gonioscopy : A procedure to examine the angle of the eye where the iris and cornea meet. It helps to determine whether the eye pressure is high or whether there’s any blockage in the drainage of fluid.
- Pachymetry : This test measures the thickness of your cornea, which is important in assessing the risk of glaucoma.
- Automated Perimetry (HVF) This visual field test helps to detect any areas of vision loss, which is crucial in monitoring glaucoma progression.
- OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) : A non-invasive imaging test that provides detailed cross-sectional images of your retina and optic nerve, helping us detect early signs of glaucoma.
- Laser Treatment : Laser procedures, such as SLT (Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty) and ALT (Argon Laser Trabeculoplasty), are used to reduce intraocular pressure and manage glaucoma.
- Glaucoma Surgery : In severe cases where medication and laser treatment aren’t effective, surgical interventions, such as trabeculectomy or tube shunt surgery, may be performed to improve the drainage of fluid from the eye.
Our glaucoma specialists offer personalized treatment plans to manage this condition effectively.
