Understanding Glaucoma – The Silent Thief of Sight
Glaucoma is a serious eye condition that damages the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure). It develops slowly and painlessly, making it difficult to detect until significant vision loss occurs — which is why it’s often called the “silent thief of sight.” If left untreated, it can lead to permanent blindness. Early detection through regular eye checkups is crucial. At our hospital, we offer advanced diagnostics like OCT and visual field analysis, along with effective treatment options such as medicated eye drops, laser therapy, and minimally invasive surgery to preserve your vision.
How We Treat Glaucoma
We use the latest phacoemulsification and bladeless laser-assisted techniques to remove cataracts safely and painlessly. The procedure involves replacing the cloudy natural lens with a high-quality intraocular lens (IOL) — customized to your vision needs. It’s a day-care surgery, completed in just 15–20 minutes, with no stitches or injections required. Most patients experience clearer vision within 24 to 48 hours and resume normal activities quickly.
Who Performs Glaucoma Surgery?
Glaucoma is treated by a specialist ophthalmologist, particularly a glaucoma specialist who is trained in diagnosing and managing complex optic nerve conditions. At our eye hospital in Bangalore, glaucoma care is handled by experienced eye doctors using advanced diagnostic tools and tailored treatment plans. These specialists are skilled in both medical management (eye drops and medication) and surgical procedures such as laser trabeculoplasty and minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), ensuring the best care for long-term vision preservation.
