Glaucoma

In glaucoma the pressure inside the eye increases. This damages the optic nerve and results in gradual reduction of side vision and finally may lead to blindness. Glaucoma is the leading cause of Irreversible Blindness. It is called the “Silent Thief of Vision’, as it does not usually cause any pain, redness or other symptoms in its early stages.

EFFECTS OF GLAUCOMA

Glaucoma causes gradual visual changes which may not be noticeable initially

Normal vision

Peripheral vision reduced

Tunnel vision

Complete blindness

Advanced Diagnostic Modality

OCT

Most accurate method to document loss of optic nerve fibres

Perimetry

Gold standard to measure peripheral vision lost in glaucoma

Gonioscopy

To check the drainage angle of the eye, open or closed angle

Pachymetry

To measure thickness of the cornea

Applanation tonometry

Gold standard to measure eye pressure

Stereoscopic photography

Photography of the optic nerve head to monitor changes

Treatment Modality

Topical drops

4 groups of drugs used singly or in combination

Peripheral laser iridotomy

By pass created in closed angle glaucoma to help filtration

Cyclo g6 (TS-CPC)

Bladeless non invasive glaucoma surgery . 1st in western india

G probe

Used in intractable glaucoma without visual potential

SLT

Primarily used in patients to reduce dependence on topical medication in early stages

Trabeculectomy

Filtering surgery in patients whom IOP cannot be controlled insptie of medication or laser or both

Shunts , valves, MIGS

Surgeries where trabeculectomy is unsuitable or has not functioned up to expectations
