Understanding Glaucoma

Glaucoma represents a collective term encompassing a range of eye conditions that harm the optic nerve, ultimately resulting in vision loss. It is the most prevalent cause of optic nerve impairment and diminished eyesight.A professional Glaucoma specialist in Dubai diagnoses the symptoms and recommends the best treatment.

In the majority of instances, there is an accumulation of fluid within the anterior section of the eye. This surplus fluid exerts pressure on the eye, progressively causing damage to the optic nerve. This pressure is medically referred to as intraocular pressure (IOP) or eye pressure. It is important to note that some individuals may exhibit normal eye pressure and still be susceptible to developing glaucoma.

When glaucoma remains untreated or is inadequately managed, it can lead to permanent, irreversible vision impairment and even blindness.According to the Glaucoma specialist in Dubai, Glaucoma affects both eyes simultaneously, although its initial impact may be more pronounced in one eye.

In cases of open-angle glaucoma, one eye may suffer moderate to severe damage, while the other might experience milder effects. Furthermore, individuals diagnosed with closed-angle glaucoma in one eye face a substantial risk—between 40% and 80%—of developing the same type of glaucoma in their other eye within five to ten years.

Glaucoma Treatment in Dubai

Medications: Prescription eye drops and oral medications are often the first line of defense to lower intraocular pressure and manage glaucoma.
Laser Therapy Laser treatment: Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) and Argon Laser Trabeculoplasty (ALT) can help improve drainage in the eye.
Surgical Procedures: In cases where medications and laser therapy are insufficient, surgical intervention may be necessary. Dr. Vasu Kumar specializes in:

Trabeculectomy
Glaucoma drainage devices

Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS): These innovative procedures offer a less invasive alternative to traditional glaucoma surgeries, reducing recovery time and complications.
