Glaucoma Screening & Management

Glaucoma Screening & Management

Glaucoma is a serious eye condition that causes progressive damage to the optic nerve, most often due to increased intraocular pressure. It is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide. At Swami Super Speciality Netralayam & Skin Care Centre, we provide comprehensive glaucoma screening and long-term management to protect vision through early detection and timely treatment.

What Is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases where damage to the optic nerve leads to gradual loss of vision. The condition often develops without noticeable symptoms, making regular eye screening essential, especially for high-risk individuals.

Importance of Early Glaucoma Screening

Early glaucoma screening helps identify the disease before significant vision loss occurs. Since glaucoma-related damage cannot be reversed, early diagnosis is critical to slowing or stopping disease progression and preserving functional vision.

Glaucoma Screening Tests

Our clinic offers detailed glaucoma evaluation using reliable diagnostic methods, including:

  • Measurement of intraocular eye pressure

  • Examination of the optic nerve head

  • Assessment of peripheral (side) vision

  • Evaluation of anterior chamber angle

Who Is at Risk?

Individuals at higher risk for glaucoma include:

  • People above 40 years of age

  • Patients with diabetes or hypertension

  • Those with a family history of glaucoma

  • Long-term steroid users

Glaucoma Management & Treatment

Glaucoma management focuses on controlling eye pressure and preventing further optic nerve damage. Treatment plans may include medical therapy, lifestyle guidance, and regular monitoring based on disease severity and patient needs.

Long-Term Monitoring & Follow-Up

Glaucoma requires lifelong follow-up. Regular eye examinations help track disease progression and ensure treatment effectiveness, reducing the risk of vision loss.
