Glaucoma Treatment in Madinaguda 

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss. It is often caused by increased pressure inside the eye, and early detection and treatment are crucial in preventing vision loss.

Glaucoma services refer to the range of medical and therapeutic treatments available to diagnose and manage glaucoma. These services can include:

  •  Comprehensive eye exams: A thorough eye exam, including measuring the pressure inside the eye, is the first step in detecting glaucoma.
  • Imaging tests: Various imaging tests, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), can help detect changes in the optic nerve that indicate glaucoma.
  • Medications: Eye drops or pills can help lower the pressure inside the eye and slow the progression of glaucoma.
  • Laser treatments: Laser therapy can help lower eye pressure and reduce the progression of glaucoma.
  • Surgery: In severe cases of glaucoma, surgery may be necessary to lower eye pressure and prevent vision loss.

Glaucoma services are typically provided by ophthalmologists, specialists in eye and vision care. Early detection and regular monitoring are essential to prevent vision loss from glaucoma. If you suspect you may have glaucoma, it is important to see an eye care professional for a comprehensive eye exam.
