Glaucoma Management
At Dr. Shakeen Eye & Dental Hospital, we specialize in advanced glaucoma management, providing early detection, precise treatment, and long-term care to prevent vision loss. Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that damages the optic nerve, often due to increased intraocular pressure (IOP). If left untreated, it can lead to permanent blindness. Since glaucoma often develops silently without noticeable symptoms, regular eye check-ups are crucial for early diagnosis and effective management.
What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that cause damage to the optic nerve, which is responsible for transmitting visual signals from the eye to the brain. This damage is typically caused by excess fluid buildup in the eye, leading to increased eye pressure (IOP). Over time, untreated glaucoma can lead to gradual vision loss, starting with peripheral vision and progressing to total blindness.
