Glaucoma Screening & Management
Glaucoma often has no symptoms until vision is already lost. Early detection is the only way to protect your sight permanently.

Could This Be You?
Glaucoma is often called the "silent thief of sight" because most people feel no pain and notice no vision change in its early stages -- by the time symptoms appear, some vision loss may already be permanent. You may be at higher risk if you experience or have:
- A family history of glaucoma
- Gradual loss of side (peripheral) vision that you've adapted to without noticing
- Age over 40, or diabetes / high blood pressure
- Eye pain, headaches, or blurred vision with halos around lights (in acute cases)
- Never had your eye pressure (IOP) checked
Why Early Detection Matters
Vision lost to glaucoma cannot be restored -- treatment can only preserve the vision you have left. This is why routine screening matters even if your vision currently feels normal. A simple eye pressure check and optic nerve evaluation can catch glaucoma years before you'd ever notice symptoms yourself.
Our Diagnostic & Treatment Approach
Dr. Rajeswari's glaucoma evaluation includes intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement, optic nerve assessment, and visual field testing where indicated. Treatment is tailored to what's clinically necessary -- never more aggressive than the diagnosis calls for.
Treatment Options:
- Pressure-Lowering Eye Drops: The first-line treatment for most cases, often sufficient to control progression.
- Laser Treatment: For specific glaucoma types, a quick outpatient procedure to improve fluid drainage.
- Regular Monitoring: Ongoing IOP and optic nerve checks to track stability over time.
- Surgical Options: Reserved for advanced or uncontrolled cases, discussed only if truly necessary.
