Glaucoma service
A major cause of vision loss in many patients is Glaucoma which leads to an increase in pressure within the eye. As this inherited disease progresses the pressure buildup damages the optic nerve leading to gradual vision loss from the edges towards the centre. This may not be noticed in the early stages as vision in the centre is unaffected, but the vision loss is permanent and irreversible.
The only way to avoid blindness is early detection and prompt treatment of Glaucoma. We offer latest diagnostics for accurate early diagnosis.
