Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, which is responsible for sending visual signals from the eye to the brain. This damage is often caused by abnormally high pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure). Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide and is often called the "Silent Thief of Sight" because it progresses gradually with no early symptoms.

Glaucoma cannot be cured, but it can be effectively managed. The goal of glaucoma treatment is to lower intraocular pressure and prevent further damage to the optic nerve. With early detection and proper treatment, most people with glaucoma can preserve their vision and maintain quality of life. Regular monitoring and lifelong treatment are essential.
People at higher risk for glaucoma include those over 40 years of age, people with family history of glaucoma, individuals with high eye pressure, people with diabetes or high blood pressure, those who are severely nearsighted, people with previous eye injuries, and long-term users of steroid medications. Regular eye examinations are crucial for early detection.
For adults under 40 with no risk factors, a comprehensive eye exam every 2-4 years is recommended. For adults over 40, every 1-2 years. For those over 60 or with risk factors like family history, diabetes, or high eye pressure, annual examinations are strongly recommended. For diagnosed glaucoma patients, follow-up every 3-6 months is typical.
Glaucoma surgery is performed under local anaesthesia, so you will not feel pain during the procedure. After surgery, some discomfort, mild pain or grittiness in the eye is normal and can be managed with prescribed medications. Most patients recover comfortably within a few days to weeks depending on the type of surgery performed.
The cost of glaucoma treatment varies depending on the type of treatment needed - medications, laser procedures or surgery.

Yes, certain lifestyle changes can help manage glaucoma. These include regular exercise (consult your doctor first), maintaining a healthy diet rich in leafy greens and antioxidants, avoiding activities that increase eye pressure like heavy lifting and inverted yoga poses, managing blood pressure and diabetes, staying hydrated, and taking prescribed eye drops consistently as directed.
