Glaucoma Diagnosis & Treatment

What is Glaucoma Diagnosis & Treatment?

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve — often silently, without early symptoms — and is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide. Early detection through regular screening is critical. At Chopra's Eye and Dental Care, Dr. Kapil Chopra offers a complete glaucoma workup including intraocular pressure measurement, OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) of the optic nerve, and Humphrey Visual Field (HVF) analysis. Treatment options include medicated eye drops, laser treatment (Peripheral Iridotomy, SLT), and surgical intervention when required.

Trabeculectomy and other surgical procedures available for advanced or uncontrolled glaucoma

📅

Long-term Follow-up

Regular monitoring and adjustment of treatment to maintain visual stability over time

How It Works

Glaucoma Diagnosis & Management Process

Initial Screening

IOP measurement, optic disc examination, gonioscopy to assess the drainage angle

OCT Analysis

Optic nerve head and retinal nerve fibre layer OCT for early structural change detection

Visual Field Testing

HVF (Humphrey Visual Field) test to map any functional vision loss

Diagnosis & Staging

Confirmation of glaucoma type and severity — normal tension, primary open angle, or angle-closure

Treatment Planning

Personalised treatment plan: eye drops, laser, or surgery based on type, stage, and patient factors

Monitoring

Regular 3–6 monthly follow-up with OCT and HVF to assess treatment response and disease progression

FAQs

Common Questions Answered

Glaucoma cannot be cured, but it can be effectively controlled to prevent further vision loss. With early diagnosis and consistent treatment, the vast majority of patients retain good functional vision throughout their lives.

Primary open-angle glaucoma (the most common type) is usually painless. Acute angle-closure glaucoma can cause sudden pain, redness, nausea, and blurred vision — this is a medical emergency requiring immediate treatment.

Risk factors include age over 40, family history, elevated eye pressure, thin corneas, myopia (short-sightedness), and systemic conditions like diabetes. Regular screening is recommended for all at-risk individuals.

Once diagnosed, most patients are reviewed every 3–6 months. The frequency depends on disease severity, IOP control, and treatment response. Regular monitoring is essential for life.
