Glaucoma Care : Purvanchal Netralaya & Retina Care Center.

At Purvanchal Netralaya & Retina Care Center, we specialize in comprehensive glaucoma care, helping patients preserve their vision and maintain their quality of life. Glaucoma, often called the "silent thief of sight," is an eye condition that damages the optic nerve, usually due to increased pressure inside the eye. This damage is gradual and can go unnoticed for years, making early detection and treatment crucial to preventing irreversible vision loss. 

Our center is committed to providing the highest level of care for glaucoma patients, beginning with thorough screening and diagnostics. We utilize advanced technology to detect early signs of glaucoma before symptoms appear. Regular eye exams, particularly for those over 40 or with a family history of glaucoma, are essential in catching the disease in its early stages.

If glaucoma is detected, our team of expert ophthalmologists creates a personalized treatment plan designed to control eye pressure and prevent further damage. Treatment options include medication, laser therapy, and surgery. Medications, typically in the form of eye drops, are often the first line of defense, helping to reduce eye pressure by either decreasing fluid production or increasing fluid outflow in the eye. When medications are insufficient, laser treatments like Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) can be used to improve fluid drainage. In advanced cases, surgical interventions may be recommended to create a new drainage pathway and lower eye pressure.

At Purvanchal Netralaya, we emphasize patient education and support throughout the treatment journey. We understand that living with glaucoma can be challenging, and we’re dedicated to helping our patients understand their condition, treatment options, and lifestyle adjustments to safeguard their vision. Our compassionate team works closely with each patient to monitor their progress, manage side effects, and make necessary adjustments to treatment plans. 

Regular follow-ups are an integral part of our glaucoma care. These visits allow us to track any changes in eye pressure or vision and address any issues immediately. By providing personalized, attentive care, we aim to minimize the impact of glaucoma on our patients' lives and help them maintain as much vision as possible.
