Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often due to high intraocular pressure. Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent vision loss. At Eyeris Eye Care, we offer comprehensive services to diagnose and manage glaucoma effectively.

Symptoms of Glaucoma

• Open-Angle Glaucoma:

  • Gradual loss of peripheral vision, often in both eyes.

  • Tunnel vision in advanced stages.

• Acute Angle-Closure Glaucoma:

  • Severe eye pain and headache.

  • Nausea and vomiting.

  • Blurred vision with halos around lights.

  • Reddening of the eye.

Diagnosis of Glaucoma

1. Tonometry:

   • Measures intraocular pressure (IOP).

2. Ophthalmoscopy:

   • Examines the optic nerve for damage.

3. Perimetry:

   • Tests the complete field of vision.

4. Gonioscopy:

   • Inspects the drainage angle of the eye.

5. Pachymetry:

   • Measures the thickness of the cornea.

Treatment Options at Eyeris Eye Care

1. Medications:

   • Prescription eye drops or oral medications to reduce eye pressure.

2. Laser Therapy:

   • Laser trabeculoplasty to improve fluid drainage in open-angle glaucoma.

   • Laser iridotomy for angle-closure glaucoma to create a small hole in the iris.

3. Surgery:

   • Trabeculectomy: Creating a new drainage pathway.

   • Drainage implants: Inserting a small device to help drain fluid.

4. Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS):

   • Less invasive procedures with a quicker recovery time, ideal for early to moderate cases.
