glaucoma
Often referred to as the “silent thief of sight,” glaucoma is a group of eye conditions characterized by damage to the optic nerve, usually due to elevated intraocular pressure. Without early detection and treatment, glaucoma can progress silently, leading to irreversible vision loss. Our comprehensive glaucoma care includes precise diagnostic techniques, innovative treatments, and ongoing management to preserve your vision and quality of life.
Understanding the potential causes of
glaucoma is essential in combating this sight-threatening condition:
Elevated Intraocular Pressure
Elevated pressure within the eye can impair blood flow to the optic nerve, resulting in damage and vision loss.
Genetics
A family history of glaucoma can significantly increase an individual's risk of developing the condition.
Age
Advancing age, particularly after 40, is associated with an increased risk of glaucoma.
Our commitment
to detecting and managing glaucoma
is fortified by cutting-edge technology, including the Topcon Non-Contact Tonometer. This device enables us to accurately measure intraocular pressure without the need for direct corneal contact, facilitating efficient screening and monitoring of patients at risk.
In addition to our advanced equipment, our hospital features modular operation theatres equipped with state-of-the-art surgical instruments and technology to ensure safe and precise eye surgeries. We also employ advanced monitoring and recording systems to monitor patients’ physiological parameters during procedures continuously, ensuring comprehensive care.
