Glaucoma is an eye condition in which the optic nerve of eye gets damaged. Optic nerve is an important part of our eye as it sends visual information from the eyes to the brain. Glaucoma generally occurs when the fluid builds up in the eye and put high pressure in the eye and this leads to damaging optic nerve. Glaucoma is an age related issue and this is the second cause of blindness after cataract.

Glaucoma treatment

  • Medication: - A variety of eye drops are prescribed to treat glaucoma. Some eye drops are prescribed to decrease fluid and increase drainage to improve eye pressure. You are suggested to use these eye drops for life time as glaucoma is a life- long disease which has no treatment. It can be only stopped from getting worse.
  • Laser therapy: - A laser is used to improve fluid drainage from your eye.
  • Surgery: - Surgery is much better and safer than medication or laser for increasing drainage and improving ocular pressure.
