Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a serious eye disease that occurs due to an imbalance in the fluid (aqueous humor) inside the eye, leading to increased intraocular pressure. This rise in pressure damages the optic nerve, reduces blood supply to vision cells, and causes side vision loss, which can eventually lead to permanent blindness if left untreated.

Often called the “silent thief of sight,” glaucoma shows no early symptoms, making early detection and regular eye checkups extremely important for preserving vision.

Key Features of Glaucoma

• High intraocular pressure – measured using tonometry
• Optic nerve damage (cupping or atrophy)
• Nerve fiber and visual field loss – detected using OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography)

Who Should Get Screened?

• Individuals with a family history of glaucoma
• Adults above 40 years (recommended screening every 2 years)
• People with high-power glasses (annual checkups)
• Those with high intraocular pressure (complete glaucoma workup every 6 months)
