Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a serious eye condition caused by increased pressure inside the eye, which can damage the optic nerve and lead to permanent vision loss if not treated early. It often develops slowly without noticeable symptoms, making regular eye check-ups essential.
Symptoms
- Gradual loss of peripheral (side) vision
- Blurred vision
- Eye pain or pressure (in some cases)
- Halos around lights
- Sudden vision loss (in advanced stages)
Causes
- Increased intraocular pressure (IOP)
- Poor drainage of fluid inside the eye
- Family history of glaucoma
- Age-related risk factors
Diagnosis
At Dr. Ankur Gupta Eye & Vision Centre, Kota, we use advanced diagnostic methods such as eye pressure measurement, optic nerve evaluation, and visual field testing to detect glaucoma at an early stage.
Treatment Options
- Medicated Eye Drops: To control and reduce eye pressure
- Laser Treatment: Improves fluid drainage from the eye
- Surgical Procedures: Recommended in advanced cases
- Regular Monitoring: To prevent further progression
Why Early Detection Matters
Glaucoma-related vision loss is irreversible, but early diagnosis and timely treatment can help preserve vision and prevent further damage.
