Glaucoma care

you may not know you're losing.

Glaucoma can progress quietly. A detailed eye examination can detect changes early, so your doctor can plan treatment and help preserve the vision you have.

What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve—the connection that carries visual information from the eye to the brain. It is often associated with raised pressure inside the eye, although it can also occur when pressure readings are within the usual range.

It is sometimes called the “silent thief of sight” because early glaucoma commonly causes no pain or noticeable vision change. Regular examinations are important, particularly if you have a family history of glaucoma, diabetes, high eye pressure or are over 40.

Why patients choose Neyani Eye Hospital
for glaucoma care

Detailed diagnostics, specialist assessment and long-term monitoring for patients and families across Gandhidham and the Kutch region.

01

Specialist-led care

Care led by Dr. Yajuvendra Singh Rathore, MBBS, MS Ophthalmology (Reg. No: G-60559), with experience in diagnosing and managing glaucoma.

02

Eye-pressure measurement

Intraocular pressure (IOP) is measured as part of a glaucoma assessment and rechecked at follow-up visits.

03

Optic nerve & OCT imaging

Optic disc evaluation with OCT and fundus imaging helps detect and document changes to the optic nerve.

04

Visual field testing

A visual field analyser checks side vision, helping identify functional changes that may not be noticed day to day.

05

Individual treatment plans

Medical or surgical management is selected after examination, according to the type and stage of glaucoma.

06

Long-term monitoring

Comparing pressure, imaging and field results over time helps your doctor judge whether treatment is working.

07

Patient support

The team provides clear guidance through diagnosis, treatment and eligible insurance or TPA documentation.

08

Clear communication

Consultations are supported in English, Hindi and Gujarati to help patients and families understand their care.

Glaucoma risk checklist

When should you consider a glaucoma check?

Glaucoma often develops without early symptoms. A comprehensive examination is especially important when you have known risk factors or are due for ongoing monitoring.
01A close relative has glaucoma

A parent or sibling with glaucoma increases your risk, even when your vision feels normal.

Family history Clinical next step: comprehensive glaucoma assessment
02You are over 40 or have diabetes

Age and certain health conditions can raise risk. Your doctor can advise how often your eyes should be checked.

Risk assessment
03Raised eye pressure was found previously

High pressure does not always mean glaucoma, but it should be assessed with the optic nerve and visual field.

Pressure review
04Side vision seems reduced or patchy

Glaucoma often affects peripheral vision first. Any new vision loss needs prompt professional assessment.

Regular reviews help check pressure, optic-nerve appearance and whether treatment is controlling the condition.

Treatment options

Our glaucoma care & treatment options

From detailed diagnosis to eye drops, surgery and long-term monitoring, every treatment plan is based on the type and stage of your glaucoma.

Diagnosis

Comprehensive Glaucoma Assessment

A detailed examination confirms whether glaucoma is present, identifies its type and records a baseline for comparing future results.

  • Eye-pressure (IOP) measurement
  • Optic disc and OCT imaging
  • Visual field testing

Medical management

Pressure-Lowering Eye Drops

Prescription eye drops are commonly the first treatment, lowering eye pressure to help protect the optic nerve from further damage.

  • Treatment matched to your eyes
  • Guidance on using drops correctly
  • Adjusted according to results

Surgical management

Glaucoma Surgery

When drops alone do not control pressure well enough, surgery may be recommended to improve fluid drainage from the eye.

  • Considered after careful assessment
  • Benefits and risks explained
  • Close post-operative follow-up

Long-Term Monitoring

Glaucoma needs lifelong follow-up. Regular reviews compare pressure, imaging and field results to check that treatment is working.

  • Scheduled follow-up visits
  • Results compared over time
  • Treatment reviewed when needed

Treatment choice depends on the type and stage of glaucoma, eye pressure and your overall eye health. Vision already lost to glaucoma usually cannot be restored; treatment aims to protect remaining sight.

Benefits of early glaucoma care

Glaucoma often progresses without symptoms. Early diagnosis and consistent treatment aim to protect your sight for the years ahead.

Results vary with the type and stage of glaucoma and how consistently treatment and follow-up are maintained. Your ophthalmologist will discuss realistic expectations with you.

Vision already lost to glaucoma usually cannot be restored. However, glaucoma can often be controlled with treatment and regular monitoring, which aims to slow or prevent further damage to the optic nerve.

Yes. Early glaucoma commonly causes no pain or noticeable vision change. Regular eye examinations are especially important if you are over 40, have a family history of glaucoma, have diabetes or have been told your eye pressure is high.

An assessment typically includes eye-pressure (IOP) measurement, examination of the optic disc, OCT and fundus imaging, and visual field testing. Your doctor will explain which tests are needed for you.

Many people with glaucoma use eye drops long term to keep eye pressure under control. Your doctor will review how well treatment is working at each visit and may adjust it over time.

Surgery may be considered when eye drops alone do not control eye pressure adequately, cannot be tolerated, or when the type or stage of glaucoma makes it the more suitable option. Your doctor will discuss the benefits and risks with you.

Follow-up frequency depends on the type and stage of glaucoma and how stable your results are. Regular reviews allow pressure, imaging and visual field results to be compared over time.

A family history of glaucoma increases your risk. If a parent or sibling has glaucoma, it is sensible to have your eyes checked regularly, even if your vision seems normal.
