Understanding Glaucoma: Symptoms and Causes

Glaucoma occurs when high eye pressure damages the optic nerve, often without early warning signs. Common types include open-angle glaucoma (gradual blockage) and angle-closure glaucoma (sudden onset). Symptoms may include blurred vision, halos around lights, eye pain, headaches, and gradual loss of side vision. Risk factors like age over 40, family history, diabetes, high blood pressure, or previous eye injuries increase susceptibility.

Specialized Glaucoma Care at Eyeris Eye Hospital

We offer comprehensive treatments tailored to your stage and type of glaucoma. Medications (Eye Drops), Laser Therapy, Surgical Interventions and Ongoing Monitoring. Medication is the first-line treatment to reduce IOP by decreasing fluid production or improving drainage. In laser therapy we have non-invasive options like Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) for open-angle or Laser Peripheral Iridotomy (LPI) for angle-closure—quick, painless, and effective. In surgical interventions, we use, when needed, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), trabeculectomy, or drainage implants for long-term pressure control and ongoing monitoring is the regular follow-up with advanced diagnostics (OCT, perimetry) to track progression.
