Glaucoma Care

“Protect your vision from the ‘silent’ threat. Early detection and expert management are the keys to keeping your sight safe for years to come.”

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often caused by high pressure inside the eye. Because it usually has no symptoms in the early stages, regular check-ups are the only way to catch it before it affects your vision.

What is it?

Often called the “silent thief of sight,” Glaucoma slowly damages the nerve that connects your eye to your brain. If left untreated, it can lead to permanent vision loss. While the damage cannot be reversed, modern medical care can stop or slow down the process, saving your remaining vision.

Who is it suitable for?

  • Family History: If your parents or siblings have Glaucoma, you are at higher risk.
  • Over Age 40: The risk increases as we get older.
  • Health Conditions: People with diabetes, high blood pressure, or extreme nearsightedness.
  • Long-term Steroid Users: If you have used steroid eye drops or medications for other health issues.

What does it involve?

At Care Vision, we provide a complete management plan to keep your eye pressure under control:

  1. Pressure Monitoring (Tonometry): A quick, painless measurement of the fluid pressure inside your eye.
  2. Visual Field Testing: Checking your peripheral (side) vision to see if any areas are being affected.
  3. Optic Nerve Exam: A detailed look at the health of the nerve at the back of your eye.
  4. Medical Management: Most cases are managed simply with specialized eye drops that lower the pressure.
  5. Laser/Surgery: If drops are not enough, Dr. Mukherjee may suggest minor procedures to help fluid drain better from the eye.

Are there any risks?

Managing Glaucoma is safe and non-invasive for most patients.

  • Side Effects: Some eye drops may cause minor redness or a stinging sensation initially, which usually goes away as your eye gets used to them.
  • Routine is Key: The only “risk” is skipping your medicine. Glaucoma care requires discipline—using your drops every day as prescribed is the best way to protect your sight.
