With a team of experienced ophthalmologists, advanced diagnostic tools, and cutting-edge treatment options, we are committed to providing the best care for our patients. Understanding Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, essential for clear vision. The primary cause is often elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), though it can also occur with normal IOP. If left untreated, glaucoma can lead to irreversible blindness. The condition affects millions worldwide and is one of the leading causes of vision loss. Early detection is crucial, as glaucoma often exhibits no early symptoms. Routine eye check-ups can help identify the disease at an early stage, allowing for timely intervention. Advanced Diagnostic Tools At American Laser Eye Hospitals, we use state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to assess and monitor glaucoma. Our tests include: ● ● ● ●

Tonometry to measure eye pressure. Visual Field Tests to detect peripheral vision loss. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) for detailed imaging of the optic nerve. Gonioscopy to evaluate the drainage angle in the eye.

These diagnostic procedures help in tailoring a precise treatment plan for each patient. Tailored Glaucoma Treatments Our treatment approach is personalized, considering the type and severity of glaucoma. Here are the treatment options available: 1. Medications Eye drops are often the first line of treatment. They help lower eye pressure by improving fluid drainage or reducing fluid production. 2. Laser Therapy ○ Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT): This procedure improves the eye’s fluid outflow and is effective for open-angle glaucoma. ○ Laser Peripheral Iridotomy: Recommended for narrow-angle glaucoma, it creates a small opening in the iris to enhance fluid drainage. 3. Surgical Solutions ○ Trabeculectomy: A procedure to create a new drainage pathway for fluid. ○ Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS): Advanced techniques with shorter recovery times and fewer complications. ○ Drainage Implants: Tiny devices that help regulate intraocular pressure. 4. Continuous Monitoring and Management Glaucoma is a chronic condition requiring ongoing care. Our specialists provide regular follow-ups to ensure optimal management and prevent progression.
