Glaucoma Treatment at Rajan Eye Care Hospital focuses on preserving vision through early detection, comprehensive diagnosis, and personalized treatment plans. Our state-of-the-art glaucoma clinic offers patients access to the latest technology and expert care to manage this progressive eye condition effectively.
Glaucoma is a complicated disease in which damage to the optic nerve leads to progressive, irreversible vision loss. This condition is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. There are typically no early warning signs or painful symptoms of open-angle glaucoma. It develops slowly and sometimes without noticeable sight loss for many years.
By the time a patient is aware of vision loss, the disease is usually quite advanced. Without proper Glaucoma Treatment, glaucoma can lead to blindness. The good news is that with regular eye exams, early detection, and treatment, vision can be preserved.

If you have increased eye pressure, it does not necessarily mean you have glaucoma. Increased eye pressure indicates you are at risk, but glaucoma only occurs if the optic nerve is damaged. Follow your eye care professional's advice to manage eye pressure and monitor any risk of glaucoma.
At Rajan Eye Care Hospital, our full-fledged glaucoma clinic with sophisticated equipment ensures the highest quality Glaucoma Treatment. During routine eye exams, Intra-Ocular Pressure (IOP) is measured for all patients using the Applanation Tonometer, which is highly accurate. For patients suspected of having glaucoma or those at high risk, the following diagnostic tests are conducted:
A perimetry test measures all areas of your eyesight, including peripheral vision, essential in glaucoma diagnosis.
A Tonometry test measures the intraocular pressure (IOP), critical for evaluating glaucoma risk.
Gonioscopy examines the front part of the eye between the cornea and the iris to check whether the fluid drainage angle is open or closed.
This test allows doctors to examine the back of the eye (fundus) using a magnifying instrument and light to view the optic nerve and surrounding structures.
OCT is an advanced imaging technique used for high-resolution cross-sectional imaging of the retina to detect and monitor glaucoma.
