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 Surgery in Ahmedabad, Gujarat 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.
