Among the many vision challenges people face, glaucoma remains one of the most serious — and often silent — threats to eye health.

At Metro Eye Clinic, we are committed to educating our community, promoting early diagnosis and offering the most advanced treatment options for Glaucoma.

Understanding Glaucoma: The Silent Thief of Sight

Glaucoma is not a single disease but a group of eye conditions that can lead to permanent vision loss if left untreated. It primarily damages the optic nerve, which plays a vital role in transmitting visual information from the eye to the brain. One of the major risk factors for glaucoma is increased intraocular pressure (IOP), which gradually damages the optic nerve.

What makes glaucoma especially dangerous is that it often develops without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. By the time vision loss becomes evident, the damage is usually irreversible. This is why early detection through regular eye checkups is crucial.

Glaucoma Symptoms and Risk Factors

While glaucoma often goes unnoticed, there are certain signs and risk factors everyone should be aware of:

Common symptoms include:

• Blurred or narrowed peripheral vision

• Seeing halos around lights

• Eye pain or pressure (in acute cases)

• Redness in the eyes

• Sudden vision loss (in advanced stages)

Risk factors include:

• Age over 40

• Family history of glaucoma

• Diabetes

• High blood pressure

• Long-term steroid use

• Eye injuries

State-of-the-Art Glaucoma Diagnosis at Metro Eye Clinic

At Metro Eye Clinic, we offer comprehensive glaucoma screenings and advanced diagnostic procedures to ensure timely detection and accurate assessment. Our technology-driven approach includes:

🔹 Goldman’s Applanation Tonometry — The gold standard for measuring intraocular pressure

🔹 Gonioscopy — Examines the drainage angle of the eye to distinguish between open-angle and angle-closure glaucoma

🔹 Pachymetry — Measures corneal thickness, which is essential for accurate IOP readings

🔹 OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) of the Optic Nerve Head — A non-invasive imaging technique that helps monitor structural damage

🔹 Humphrey Visual Field Testing — Evaluates peripheral vision to detect functional vision loss

🔹 YAG Laser Iridotomy — A preventive laser procedure often recommended for angle-closure glaucoma

Our expert team utilizes these tools to tailor an individualized glaucoma management plan based on each patient’s specific needs.

Comprehensive Glaucoma Treatments

Once diagnosed, timely treatment is key to preventing further optic nerve damage and preserving vision. Depending on the severity and type of glaucoma, we offer a wide range of treatments, including:

1. Medical Management

For many patients, eye drops and oral medications are the first line of defense, helping to reduce intraocular pressure.

2. Laser Therapy

We offer YAG Laser Iridotomy and Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) for patients who are unresponsive to medications or at risk of angle closure.

3. Surgical Options

For more advanced cases, we perform:

• Trabeculectomy — A surgical procedure that creates a new drainage pathway for fluid to leave the eye

• Glaucoma Drainage Devices — Implants that help control eye pressure when other treatments fail

• Advanced Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgeries (MIGS) — Modern surgical options with quicker recovery times and fewer complications.

At Metro Eye Clinic, we believe in minimally invasive, precision-based interventions whenever possible. All surgeries are performed in a sterile and safe environment using cutting-edge technology.
