Glaucoma
Glaucoma Treatment at Nandadeep
Glaucoma is a serious eye condition that can lead to irreversible damage and vision loss. It occurs when the intraocular pressure in the eye rises to an unhealthy level, putting stress on the optic nerve, which is essential for transmitting visual information to the brain. This increased pressure can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, age, and certain medical conditions. If left untreated, glaucoma can progress silently and may result in severe visual impairment or complete blindness.

How to Know If You Have Glaucoma
Glaucoma can be hard to notice at first, because it doesn’t cause any pain or symptoms. But over time, you may notice some changes in your vision, such as:
Having trouble seeing things on the sides of your eyes
Seeing blurry or cloudy images
Seeing rings or halos around lights
Having red or sore eyes
Having headaches
Having eye pain
If you have any of these signs, you should come to our hospital as soon as possible. The sooner we find out if you have glaucoma, the better we can treat it and save your sight.
What Causes Glaucoma and Who Can Get It
Glaucoma is usually caused by too much fluid in your eyes. This fluid helps your eyes stay healthy and clear, but sometimes it doesn’t drain well and builds up pressure. This pressure can damage the nerves that carry images from your eyes to your brain.
Anyone can get glaucoma, but some people are more likely to get it than others. You may have a higher chance of getting glaucoma if you:
- Have high pressure in your eyes
- Have a family member who has glaucoma
- Have had an eye injury or surgery
- Use steroid medicines for a long time
- Have very nearsighted or farsighted eyes
