Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, usually due to increased pressure inside the eye. It is often called the “silent thief of sight” because it can cause vision loss without any early warning signs. If left untreated, glaucoma can lead to permanent blindness. While it cannot be cured, early detection and proper treatment can slow or stop its progression. At Dr. Praveen Eye Hospital and Research Centre, we use advanced diagnostic tools like optical coherence tomography (OCT) and visual field testing to detect glaucoma early and offer treatments including eye drops, laser therapy, and surgery to preserve your vision.
In early stages, there may be no symptoms; later, peripheral vision may be lost.
No, but treatment can prevent or slow further vision loss.
People over 40, those with a family history, and patients with high eye pressure.
Not always—some forms occur with normal eye pressure.
Every 1–2 years after age 40, or sooner if you have risk factors.
