Advanced Glaucoma Diagnostic Technology

Advanced Glaucoma Diagnostic Technology

Our diagnostic facilities include:

  • Goldmann Applanation Tonometry
  • Non-Contact Tonometry (NCT)
  • Gonioscopy
  • Visual Field Testing (Perimetry)
  • Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) – Optic Nerve & RNFL Analysis
  • Central Corneal Thickness Measurement (Pachymetry)
  • Optic Disc Photography
  • Ultrasound Biomicroscopy (UBM)
  • Anterior Segment OCT
  • Diurnal Variation of Intraocular Pressure

These advanced tests help detect glaucoma early, monitor disease progression, and guide appropriate treatment decisions.

  • The Glaucoma Department at Mahathma Eye Hospital Private Limited provides expert care for all major types of glaucoma, including:
  • Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma (PACG)

  • Juvenile Glaucoma
  • Congenital Glaucoma
  • Secondary Glaucoma
  • Neovascular Glaucoma
  • Uveitic Glaucoma
  • Traumatic Glaucoma
  • Steroid-Induced Glaucoma
  • Pseudoexfoliation Glaucoma
  • Pigmentary Glaucoma

Medical Management of Glaucoma

In many patients, glaucoma can be effectively controlled with medications.

Our glaucoma specialists provide medical management using evidence-based treatment protocols including:

  • Prostaglandin analogues
  • Beta blockers
  • Alpha agonists
  • Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors
  • Combination glaucoma medications

These medications help reduce intraocular pressure and slow disease progression, protecting the optic nerve from further damage.

Laser Treatment for Glaucoma

Laser procedures are commonly used to manage certain types of glaucoma and to reduce intraocular pressure.

Laser treatments available at Mahathma Eye Hospital Private Limited include:

  • Laser Peripheral Iridotomy (LPI) – for angle closure glaucoma
  • Laser Trabeculoplasty – for open angle glaucoma
  • Laser Iridoplasty
  • Cyclophotocoagulation – for refractory glaucoma

Laser treatments are minimally invasive, quick, and highly effective in selected patients.

Glaucoma Surgical Procedures

When medications or laser treatments are insufficient to control intraocular pressure, surgery may be required.

Our glaucoma surgeons perform a wide range of advanced glaucoma surgeries including:

  • Trabeculectomy
  • Trabeculectomy with Mitomycin-C
  • Glaucoma Drainage Device Implantation (Tube Surgery)
  • Combined Cataract and Glaucoma Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS)
  • Cyclodestructive Procedures

All surgeries are performed in modern operating theatres equipped with advanced microsurgical technology, ensuring the highest standards of safety and precision.

Glaucoma Screening and Prevention

Glaucoma often progresses without symptoms in the early stages, which is why regular eye examinations are essential.

Individuals at higher risk include:

  • Patients above 40 years of age
  • People with family history of glaucoma
  • Diabetic or hypertensive patients
  • Patients using long-term steroid medications
  • Individuals with high eye pressure

Mahathma Eye Hospital Private Limited offers comprehensive glaucoma screening programs that include:

  • Intraocular pressure measurement
  • Optic nerve evaluation
  • Visual field testing
  • OCT nerve fiber layer analysis

Early detection can significantly reduce the risk of permanent vision loss.
