It is important to realize that there is no cure for glaucoma. Once nerve fibers die and visual function is lost, it cannot be recovered. Treatment can only help preserve remaining vision; hence it is imperative to detect the disease in its earliest stage.

The management of glaucoma must be an individualized effort. Simplistically speaking, in angle closure glaucoma doctors use a laser to create an alternative path for the fluid to drain out. However, this approach works for early cases; advanced cases require medication and surgery as for open angle glaucoma. An attack of closed angle glaucoma is an emergency and the IOP must be lowered as soon as possible to prevent damage to the optic nerve.

Eye drops is the first line of defence for Glaucoma treatment. Eye drops help in draining the eye fluids and lowering optic nerve pressure. Different combination of eye drops is prescribed according to the severity of the Glaucoma.

Laser Surgery is a painless and bladeless procedure for Glaucoma treatment. Laser surgery is effective in opening the fluid drainage area (Trabeculoplasty and Iridotomy) and reducing fluid production (Cyclophotocoagulation).

Microsurgery (Trabeculectomy) Microsurgery is a procedure in which new channels for fluid drainage are created in the eyes to ease pressure on the optic nerve. We offers new valve- drainage device implantation microsurgeries for Glaucoma treatment.
