Welcome to our Glaucoma Services at PureSight Ophthalmology. We understand the impact that glaucoma can have on your vision and overall well-being, and we are dedicated to providing comprehensive care to effectively manage this complex eye condition.
What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions characterized by progressive damage to the optic nerve, often associated with increased pressure inside the eye. It is a leading cause of irreversible vision loss and can affect people of all ages, although it becomes more common with age. Early detection and timely intervention are crucial for preserving your vision and slowing the progression of glaucoma.
Our Approach to Glaucoma Care:
At PureSight Ophthalmology, we take a personalized and multidisciplinary approach to glaucoma care. Our team of experienced ophthalmologists, led by Dr. K. K. Chetty, combines clinical expertise, advanced diagnostic technologies, and evidence-based treatments to provide the highest level of care.
Comprehensive Glaucoma Examinations:
We begin by conducting thorough glaucoma examinations to assess the extent of your condition and establish a baseline for future monitoring. Our state-of-the-art diagnostic tools allow us to evaluate your intraocular pressure, assess your optic nerve health, measure your visual field, and analyze the structure of your eye.
Individualized Treatment Plans:
Based on the results of your examination, our team will develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Our goal is to preserve your remaining vision, slow the progression of glaucoma, and enhance your quality of life.
Our range of treatment options may include:
- Medications: Prescription eye drops or oral medications to lower intraocular pressure and manage glaucoma symptoms.
- Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS): Innovative surgical techniques that offer a safer and less invasive approach to lowering eye pressure and managing glaucoma.
- Traditional Glaucoma Surgery: When necessary, we may recommend conventional glaucoma surgeries, such as trabeculectomy or drainage implant surgery, to effectively manage your condition.
Ongoing Monitoring and Support:
Glaucoma is a chronic condition that requires long-term management. We are committed to providing comprehensive monitoring and support to ensure your glaucoma is carefully managed over time. Regular follow-up appointments, visual field testing, optic nerve assessments, and intraocular pressure measurements are essential to track your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
Education and Patient Empowerment:
We believe in empowering our patients with knowledge and understanding. Our team will take the time to explain your glaucoma diagnosis, discuss treatment options, and answer any questions you may have. We are here to support you on your glaucoma journey, ensuring you feel confident and actively involved in your care.
