Glaucoma Evaluation

Glaucoma Evaluation

What is Glaucoma Evaluation?

Glaucoma is a progressive eye condition caused by increased pressure within the eye, which gradually damages the optic nerve responsible for clear vision. Often referred to as the “silent thief of sight,” it develops slowly and may not show early warning signs, making timely evaluation crucial. If left untreated, it can lead to irreversible vision loss or even blindness. At Patil Center for Advanced Eye Care, glaucoma evaluation includes a detailed eye examination, measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP), optic nerve imaging, visual field testing, and corneal thickness analysis. These advanced diagnostic tools help in early detection, even before symptoms appear.

Symptoms

In many cases, glaucoma shows no symptoms initially. However, some patients may notice:

  • Blurred or patchy vision

  • Eye pain or pressure

  • Frequent headaches

  • Halos around lights

  • Gradual loss of peripheral (side) vision

Precautions

Regular eye check-ups are the best precaution against glaucoma, especially for people over 40, those with a family history of eye diseases, or individuals with diabetes and high blood pressure. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, avoiding smoking, managing systemic conditions, and protecting eyes from injury are also preventive steps.

Treatment & Procedure

Patil Center provides customized treatment plans depending on the type and severity of glaucoma. Options include:

  • Eye drops and medications to reduce eye pressure

  • Laser therapy to improve fluid drainage

  • Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) for long-term management

  • Advanced surgical procedures like trabeculectomy or glaucoma drainage implants in severe cases

Benefits of Timely Treatment

Early detection and proper treatment of glaucoma help preserve vision, prevent further optic nerve damage, and maintain overall quality of life. With modern technology and expert care at Patil Center, patients can manage glaucoma effectively and continue daily activities without major limitations.
