Glaucoma Treatment in Pune

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often related to raised eye pressure. Treatment does not usually restore lost vision, so early detection and lifelong monitoring are important.

• Often no symptoms in early stages, especially open-angle glaucoma.
• Gradual side-vision loss, frequent glass-power changes, eye heaviness, halos, headache, or poor night vision may occur.
• Sudden severe eye pain, redness, nausea, halos, and blurred vision can suggest angle-closure glaucoma and needs emergency care.

• Get eye pressure and optic nerve checks after age 40 or earlier with family history, diabetes, high myopia, steroid use, or previous eye injury.
• Use glaucoma drops exactly as prescribed and do not stop them without review.
• Attend visual field, OCT, and pressure checks at the advised interval.

• Prescription eye drops, oral pressure-lowering medicines in selected cases, laser trabeculoplasty, or laser peripheral iridotomy depending on glaucoma type.
• Monitoring with eye pressure, visual field, optic nerve imaging, and gonioscopy.

• Trabeculectomy, glaucoma drainage devices, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, cyclophotocoagulation, or combined cataract-glaucoma procedures may be advised when drops or laser are insufficient.
• Surgery aims to reduce pressure and slow progression, but follow-up remains essential.

An eye specialist reviews symptoms, vision changes, medical history, current medicines, eye pressure, refraction, and detailed eye examination findings before advising Glaucoma Treatment. Tests such as slit-lamp examination, dilated retina check, OCT, fundus photography, corneal scan, visual field testing, or blood sugar review may be advised when relevant.

Recovery depends on the diagnosis and procedure. Many eye treatments are outpatient, but surgery or laser treatment may need eye drops, protective glasses, activity limits, and scheduled reviews. Follow-up is important because some eye diseases can progress silently even after symptoms improve.

Book an eye consultation for blurred vision, eye pain, redness, discharge, sudden floaters, flashes of light, double vision, light sensitivity, injury, diabetes-related vision changes, or persistent dryness. Sudden vision loss, severe eye pain, chemical injury, or a curtain-like shadow in vision needs urgent care.
