Glaucoma Examination

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often caused by increased pressure inside the eye. It is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Early detection through regular eye examinations is crucial to prevent vision loss.

If you are at risk or experiencing symptoms like blurred vision, eye pain, headache, halos around lights, or sudden vision loss, consult our glaucoma specialists immediately. Call Arunodaya Netralaya today to schedule your comprehensive glaucoma examination and protect your precious vision.

Why is Glaucoma Examination Important?

Most types of glaucoma develop without noticeable symptoms in the early stages. By the time vision loss is noticed, significant damage has already occurred. Regular glaucoma screening helps in:

Detecting increased eye pressure early
Assessing optic nerve health
Preventing irreversible vision damage
Managing and treating the condition effectively

Who Should Get a Glaucoma Examination?

✅ Individuals above 40 years
✅ People with a family history of glaucoma
✅ Diabetics and hypertensive patients
✅ Those with high eye pressure (ocular hypertension)
✅ Individuals with long-term steroid use
✅ People with eye injuries or other eye diseases

What Does a Glaucoma Examination Involve?

At Arunodaya Netralaya, we use advanced diagnostic tools to ensure accurate assessment and early diagnosis. The comprehensive glaucoma examination includes:

🔹 Tonometry (Eye Pressure Measurement): Measures intraocular pressure (IOP) to detect elevated levels, a major risk factor for glaucoma.
🔹 Ophthalmoscopy (Optic Nerve Examination): Detailed evaluation of the optic nerve for signs of damage.
🔹 Gonioscopy: Checks the drainage angle inside the eye to classify the type of glaucoma.
🔹 Visual Field Test (Perimetry): Assesses peripheral vision loss, often the first sign of glaucoma damage.
🔹 Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): Provides high-resolution images of the optic nerve and retinal layers to detect structural changes.
🔹 Pachymetry: Measures corneal thickness, an important factor in assessing eye pressure readings accurately.

Prevention and Management

While glaucoma cannot be prevented, early detection and treatment can preserve vision. Medications, laser treatments, or surgery may be recommended based on the type and severity of glaucoma. Regular follow-ups are essential to monitor eye pressure and optic nerve health.
