Glaucoma Services deals with the treatment of glaucomas, which are largely inherited, in addition to glaucomas caused by trauma, inflammation, diabetes, retinal vascular disease and hyper mature cataracts. Equipped with the most advanced diagnostic tools, such as the automated perimeter and Optical Coherence Tomography to measure retinal nerve fiber thickness the clinic is equipped to diagnose glaucoma at very early stages even before there is significant loss of vision. Glaucoma cases are evluated by performing Tonometry (measures pressure in the eye), pachymetry (measUre corneal thickness), opthalmoscopy(visualize the optic nerve),gonioscopy(examine the area in the front of the eye that drains fluid. Gonioscopy allows a more accurate diagnosis of the type of glaucoma), Perimetry: evaluates your visual field, Ultrasound Biomicroscopy for evaluating the angle structures of the eye espsecially in glaucoma patients. Various treatment modalities such as medicines, lasers and surgery are resorted to as per patient's requirements. |
