Don't Let Glaucoma Steal Your Vision
At Sri Narayana Eyecare, we believe that healthy vision begins with early detection and expert care. Glaucoma is often called the "silent thief of sight" because it develops gradually and may not show noticeable symptoms until significant vision loss has already occurred.
Our mission is to help patients detect glaucoma early, manage eye pressure effectively, and preserve their vision through advanced technology, experienced glaucoma specialists, and personalized treatment plans.
Types of Glaucoma We Treat
At Sri Narayana Eyecare, our specialists diagnose and manage various types of glaucoma, including:
Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma
The most common form of glaucoma that develops slowly without noticeable symptoms in its early stages.
Angle-Closure Glaucoma
A sudden increase in eye pressure that requires immediate medical attention to prevent permanent vision loss.
Normal-Tension Glaucoma
Optic nerve damage occurs even when eye pressure remains within the normal range.
Secondary Glaucoma
Develops due to underlying conditions such as eye injuries, inflammation, diabetes, or prolonged steroid use.
Congenital Glaucoma
A rare condition present from birth that requires specialized pediatric eye care.
What Causes Glaucoma?
Several factors can increase the risk of developing glaucoma, including:
- High eye pressure
- Family history of glaucoma
- Diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Increasing age
- Previous eye injuries
- Long-term steroid medication use
- Severe nearsightedness or farsightedness
Regular comprehensive eye examinations are the best way to detect glaucoma before symptoms appear.
Common Symptoms of Glaucoma
In its early stages, glaucoma may not cause any symptoms. As the disease progresses, patients may experience:
- Gradual loss of peripheral (side) vision
- Blurred vision
- Eye pain
- Headaches
- Halos around lights
- Redness in the eye
- Sudden vision loss (in acute glaucoma)
If you notice any of these symptoms, seek immediate evaluation by an eye specialist.
Advanced Glaucoma Diagnosis at Sri Narayana Eyecare
Early diagnosis plays a crucial role in preventing permanent vision damage. At Sri Narayana Eyecare, we use advanced diagnostic technology to accurately detect and monitor glaucoma.
Our comprehensive glaucoma evaluation includes:
Eye Pressure Measurement (Tonometry)
Measures intraocular pressure to identify elevated eye pressure.
Optic Nerve Evaluation
A detailed examination of the optic nerve to detect early signs of glaucoma damage.
Visual Field Testing
Assesses peripheral vision and identifies vision loss caused by glaucoma.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
Provides detailed images of the optic nerve and retinal nerve fiber layer for early detection.
Corneal Thickness Measurement (Pachymetry)
Measures corneal thickness, which helps interpret eye pressure accurately.
Advanced Glaucoma Treatments We Offer
Every patient is different, which is why we create personalized treatment plans based on the type and severity of glaucoma.
Glaucoma Medications
Prescription eye drops are often the first line of treatment to reduce eye pressure and protect the optic nerve.
Laser Glaucoma Treatment
Laser procedures improve fluid drainage inside the eye, helping lower intraocular pressure with minimal discomfort.
Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS)
For suitable patients, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery offers effective pressure control with faster recovery and reduced surgical risks.
Advanced Glaucoma Surgery
When medications and laser treatments are not enough, our specialists perform advanced glaucoma surgeries to preserve vision and prevent further optic nerve damage.
