Advanced Care Focused on Preserving Vision and Preventing Progression
Glaucoma is a serious eye condition that can gradually damage the optic nerve and lead to irreversible vision loss if left untreated. Often called the “silent thief of sight,” it may progress without noticeable symptoms until significant vision is lost. At Vision Clinic, comprehensive glaucoma management is provided with a focus on early detection, precise monitoring, and individualized treatment to protect long-term vision.
Under the guidance of Dr. Richa Tripathi, Vision Clinic offers specialized evaluation and management of glaucoma, using advanced diagnostic tools and evidence-based treatment approaches to slow disease progression and preserve sight.
Understanding Glaucoma
Glaucoma develops when increased intraocular pressure (IOP) or other factors damage the optic nerve. Common types include primary open-angle glaucoma, angle-closure glaucoma, and secondary glaucoma caused by other eye conditions.
Symptoms may include:
- Gradual loss of peripheral vision
- Blurred or hazy vision
- Headaches or eye pain (in certain types)
- Difficulty adjusting to low light
Because glaucoma often progresses without early warning signs, regular eye examinations are critical for patients at risk, especially those with a family history, diabetes, or high blood pressure.
Glaucoma Care at Vision Clinic
At Vision Clinic, glaucoma evaluation involves comprehensive eye tests to assess optic nerve health, eye pressure, and visual field. Advanced diagnostics include:
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT) for nerve imaging
- Tonometry for measuring intraocular pressure
- Visual field testing to detect early vision changes
Treatment is tailored to each patient and may include:
- Medications: Eye drops or oral medications to lower eye pressure
- Laser therapy: Procedures to improve fluid drainage and reduce pressure
- Surgical interventions: For cases not controlled with medications or laser
- Regular monitoring: Continuous follow-up to track disease progression and adjust treatment
Advanced Interventions for Progressive Glaucoma
- Minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS)
- Trabeculectomy or drainage device implantation
- Guided post-operative care to ensure optimal pressure control and visual stability
Patients receive counseling on disease management, lifestyle adjustments, and adherence to treatment to protect long-term vision.
