Glaucoma Treatment in Bathinda – Advanced Eye Care at Neo Polus Health Care
At Neo Polus Health Care, Bathinda, we provide comprehensive diagnosis, management, and treatment for glaucoma, a progressive eye disease that can cause irreversible vision loss if left untreated. Led by Dr. Karan Sarwal (M.S. Ophthalmology, 20+ years of experience), our Eye Care Department is equipped with advanced technology for early detection and personalized treatment.
Symptoms of Glaucoma (When to see a doctor)
Glaucoma is often called the "Silent Thief of Sight" because it has no early symptoms. However, urgent care is needed if you experience:
- Severe eye pain accompanied by headache.
- Seeing halos (rainbow-colored rings) around lights.
- Loss of peripheral (side) vision.
- Blurred vision or sudden redness in the eye.
Treatment Options at Neo Polus Hospital
Dr. Karan Sarwal offers a tiered approach to managing eye pressure:
- 1. Medical Therapy: Specialized eye drops to lower intraocular pressure.
- 2. Laser Treatment: Advanced YAG Laser Iridotomy (LPI) to improve fluid drainage.
- 3. Surgery: Trabeculectomy (filtration surgery) for advanced cases to create a new drainage path.
What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions where increased intraocular pressure (IOP) damages the optic nerve, leading to gradual vision loss. It often develops silently, with few or no symptoms in the early stages, making early detection critical.
Common symptoms may include:
Blurred or hazy vision- Loss of peripheral vision
- Eye pain or pressure
- Headaches and difficulty seeing at night
Types of Glaucoma We Treat
- Open-Angle Glaucoma – Most common, caused by slow drainage of eye fluid.
- Angle-Closure Glaucoma – Sudden increase in eye pressure, requiring urgent care.
- Normal-Tension Glaucoma – Optic nerve damage even with normal eye pressure.
- Secondary Glaucoma – Caused by injury, diabetes, or other eye conditions.
- Congenital Glaucoma – Rare but serious, present in infants or children.
