What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that cause damage to the optic nerve — usually due to increased pressure inside the eye (called intraocular pressure or IOP). If left untreated, glaucoma can cause gradual, irreversible vision loss, often without early warning signs.
That’s why early diagnosis, regular checkups, and personalized glaucoma treatment are key to protecting your eyesight.
Signs & Symptoms of Glaucoma
Many people with glaucoma don’t realize they have it until vision is already affected. Look out for:
Gradual loss of side (peripheral) vision
Tunnel vision (advanced cases)
Blurred vision or halos around lights
Eye pain, redness, or headaches
Sudden vision loss (angle-closure glaucoma)

Types of Glaucoma We Treat
We provide expert glaucoma treatment for all forms of the condition, including:
Open-Angle Glaucoma
The most common type. It develops slowly without early symptoms, leading to gradual peripheral vision loss due to fluid buildup and increased intraocular pressure.
Angle-Closure Glaucoma
Causes a sudden spike in eye pressure due to blocked drainage. It's a medical emergency with symptoms like severe pain, nausea, and rapid vision loss.
Normal-Tension Glaucoma
Optic nerve damage occurs even with normal eye pressure. May be linked to poor blood flow or underlying vascular conditions. Requires regular monitoring and treatment.
Congenital Glaucoma
Present from birth or early infancy, often caused by abnormal eye development. Symptoms include enlarged eyes, light sensitivity, and excessive tearing. Surgery is usually needed.
Pigmentary Glaucoma
Pigment granules from the iris clog drainage canals, increasing pressure. Typically seen in young, nearsighted adults. Requires ongoing monitoring and pressure-lowering treatment.
Exfoliative Glaucoma
Caused by flaky material from the lens that blocks eye fluid drainage. Often more aggressive than open-angle glaucoma and may need surgical intervention.
Secondary Glaucoma
Triggered by trauma, inflammation, tumors, or steroid use. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may include drops, surgery, or laser therapy.
Uveitic Glaucoma
Occurs due to inflammation inside the eye (uveitis). The swelling disrupts fluid flow, raising eye pressure and requiring a combination of anti-inflammatory and glaucoma treatment.
What Causes Glaucoma?
Glaucoma often develops due to:
High intraocular pressure
Family history of glaucoma
Eye trauma or injury
Long-term use of steroid medications
Poor blood flow to the optic nerve
Congenital defects or thin corneas
Conditions like diabetes, uveitis, or retinal detachment
How is Glaucoma Diagnosed?
We use advanced tools for early and accurate diagnosis:
Tonometry
Measures intraocular pressure using gentle air puff or probe. Elevated pressure may indicate glaucoma risk, especially when combined with other diagnostic findings.
Visual Field Test
Assesses your side vision to detect blind spots. It helps determine the extent of optic nerve damage and monitors disease progression over time.
OCT
Provides detailed, cross-sectional images of the optic nerve and retina. Essential for detecting early glaucoma damage, even before vision loss occurs.
Gonioscopy
Uses a special lens to examine the drainage angle in the eye. Determines the type of glaucoma: open-angle or angle-closure.
Ophthalmoscopy
Examines the optic nerve head through a dilated pupil. Reveals signs of glaucoma damage like cupping, thinning, or abnormal coloration.
Diurnal IOP Monitoring
Tracks intraocular pressure at multiple times throughout the day. Detects hidden pressure spikes that may be missed in single-time-point measurements.
Why Day Phasing (Diurnal IOP Monitoring) Matters
Sometimes eye pressure spikes happen at times you’re not in the clinic. Day Phasing measures your pressure every few hours in a day.
Benefits:
- Detects hidden pressure fluctuations
- Shows if medications work all day
- Helps adjust treatment timing
- Prevents unnoticed nerve damage
- Crucial for early-stage or normal-tension glaucoma
You’re monitored comfortably in our clinic with eye drops, no pain, and time to rest between checks.
Lifestyle Tips for Glaucoma Management
Your habits matter just as much as your medicine. Here’s how you can support your treatment:
- Use your eye drops daily, without skipping
- Stay active with gentle exercise like walking or swimming
- Eat well: Leafy greens, carrots, walnuts, and omega-3s are eye-friendly
- Hydrate smartly: Small sips throughout the day
- Avoid heavy caffeine or salt
- Wear sunglasses to protect against UV damage
- Quit smoking, limit alcohol
Manage stress with deep breathing, yoga, or mindfulness (avoid head-down poses)

Frequently Asked Questions
A group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, often due to high pressure. It can cause permanent vision loss if untreated.
Glaucoma can’t be cured, but with treatment, vision loss can often be prevented or slowed.
MIGS — Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery — offers lower risk, faster recovery, and long-term pressure control.
Most types (like open-angle) are painless. Acute angle-closure glaucoma can cause severe eye pain and is an emergency.
After age 40, every 1–2 years. Sooner if you have risk factors like family history, diabetes, or steroid use.
