RISK FOR
Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a group of conditions, in which high pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure) damages the optic nerve of the eye. Glaucoma usually affects both the eyes. It commonly occurs in adults above 40 years of age, but can even occur in newborn babies. The vision lost due to glaucoma is irreversible and hence it is very important to detect this disease as early as possible and treat early to preserve vision.

High eye pressure alone does not mean that you have glaucoma, but it is an important risk factor your ophthalmologist will use to determine your risk for developing the disease.

The most important risk factors include :

Age
Elevated eye pressure
Thin cornea
Family history of glaucoma
Nearsightedness
Past injuries to the eyes
Steroid use
A history of severe anemia or shock

Our Mission is
Mission For Vision

Glaucoma is the term used to describe a group of eye diseases which damage the optic nerve, the nerve that connects the eye to the brain. If left untreated glaucoma can result in blindness.

In the more common forms of glaucoma there is increased pressure in the eye which presses on the optic nerve and causes a gradual loss of peripheral vision.

Glaucoma is a severe and complicated disease that could cause irreversible loss of vision. This disease damages the optic nerves and increases the pressure on the eyeball. Also, Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness.

Glaucoma is a silent killer. But, in order to keep your eyes safe, we suggest you make a habit of regular eye appointments. If diagnosed early, we perform various types of procedures and advanced surgeries
