Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a serious eye condition that damages the optic nerve, often caused by an abnormal increase in intraocular pressure (IOP). Known as the “silent thief of sight,” glaucoma can progress without noticeable symptoms until significant vision loss occurs. It typically affects peripheral vision first and, if left untreated, can lead to irreversible blindness. Common risk factors include age over 40, a family history of glaucoma, diabetes, high blood pressure, and long-term steroid use. Regular comprehensive eye exams are crucial for detecting glaucoma early, as timely intervention can slow or stop its progression.

At Nethraa Eye Hospital, under the leadership of Dr. Srishti Sohni, we provide advanced glaucoma screening and management using state-of-the-art technology such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), visual field testing, and tonometry. Our treatment plans are customized for each patient and may include prescription eye drops to lower eye pressure, laser therapies like selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT), or minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries for more advanced cases. Our focus is on protecting the optic nerve, maintaining functional vision, and preserving quality of life.

We also believe in patient education as a vital component of glaucoma care. By informing patients about risk factors, medication compliance, and the importance of follow-up visits, we help them actively participate in their treatment journey. At Nethraa Eye Hospital, our mission is to detect glaucoma early, treat it effectively, and ensure that every patient enjoys clear vision for as long as possible. With expert care, modern technology, and a compassionate approach, we stand as your trusted partner in safeguarding sight.
