What is Glauma?
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure inside the eye. It develops gradually and may not show symptoms early on, but if left untreated, it can lead to permanent vision loss. Regular eye checkups are key for early detection and effective management.
Causes
  • Blocked or reduced fluid drainage in the eye
  • Use of corticosteroids or dilating eye drops
  • Decreased blood flow to the optic nerve
  • Eye trauma or inflammation
  • Certain systemic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure
Symptoms
  • Gradual or sudden vision loss
  • Seeing rainbow-colored halos around lights
  • Double vision
  • Persistent headaches
  • Uneven pupil size
Treatment
Glaucoma is managed by reducing intraocular pressure through:
  • Prescription eye drops
  • Oral medications
  • Laser procedures
  • Surgical interventions (depending on severity)
Modern Techniques for Glaucoma Diagnosis & Management
  • Goldmann Applanation Tonometry: Highly accurate method to measure eye pressure
  • Pachymetry: Measures corneal thickness using a painless test
  • Humphrey Visual Field Analysis: Evaluates the extent of peripheral vision loss
  • Ultrasound Biomicroscopy (UBM): High-resolution imaging of the eye’s anterior segment
Surgical Options
  • Trabeculectomy: Gold-standard procedure to lower intraocular pressure
  • Glaucoma Valve Surgery: Uses a valve device to drain excess fluid
  • Pediatric Glaucoma Surgery: Techniques like trabeculotomy and goniotomy for children
