Glaucoma treatment: Seek immediate care for slow progression condition

Glaucoma Treatment

Glaucoma is one of the common eye conditions that begin to put pressure on the eyes, and if not treated on time, it has a higher chance of causing vision loss. The prevalence rate of undergoing Glaucoma surgery in Punjab is higher among patients after age 40. As the condition slowly progresses, it often gets tough to analyze the symptoms and get the treatment on time. There’s even a possibility that glaucoma affects one eye more as compared to others.

Do you know?

With glaucoma, the major problem is the clear fluid present in the eyes gets drained too slowly, and with time the eyes won’t be able to handle that pressure. Therefore, you need to get medical supervision before the situation gets difficult to handle. You should get the expertise of the Best Eye Surgeon in Punjab to know the conclusive treatment plan for the specific condition.

Causes of Glaucoma

Until the research that’s done, does not have clarity as to why it happens. If the condition is primary, it’s’ tough to know the exact cause. On the other hand, secondary glaucoma can happen due to inflammation, diabetes, tumor, cataract, and hypothyroidism. Although there’s the possibility of a number of risk factors resulting in this problem like:

  • Age above 60 years
  • Undergone eye injury or problem
  • Gotten eye surgery in the past
  • Condition of nearsightedness
  • Glaucoma – family history
  • High BP
  • Genetic factors
  • Use of certain eye drops

Types of Glaucoma

There are four main types of glaucoma that include:

  • Open-angle glaucoma
  • Closed-angle glaucoma
  • Low-tension glaucoma
  • Pigmentary glaucoma

Symptoms of Glaucoma

The symptoms of glaucoma depend upon the type that a person has. Here’s the list of symptoms that can occur with glaucoma:

  • Blur vision
  • Red eyes
  • Unexpected vision problem
  • Peripheral vision gets less in both eyes
  • Cannot see in the poor lighting

Diagnosis of Glaucoma

The diagnosis of glaucoma includes several different tests to analyze the situation effectively. Some of the most important tests performed for diagnosis are:

  • Perimetry
  • Ophthalmoscopy
  • Tonometry
  • Gonioscopy
  • Pachymetrey

Treatment for Glaucoma

The treatment for glaucoma is based on your eye health. Initially, eye drops are suggested to see whether the problem gets handled. The aim of drops is to target upon working against the drainage problem. If your situation does not seem to improve with time; then, you must consult the healthcare expert immediately.

In case the condition does not get better with initial treatment, then the doctor suggests surgery like:

  • Filtering surgery
  • Drainage implant
  • Trabeculoplasty

Final word

There’s no permanent way to prevent the condition. If you have the symptoms of the condition or are worried that you have a family history, then consult our experienced eye doctor at the earliest.
