Introduction
Your eyes are one of your most precious assets, and protecting them from diseases like glaucoma is crucial. Glaucoma is a progressive eye condition that damages the optic nerve — the part of the eye responsible for transmitting visual information to the brain. Without timely diagnosis and treatment, it can lead to permanent vision loss.
At Eye Health Clinic, Greater Noida, Dr. Rashi Sharma, a renowned Retina and Glaucoma Specialist, offers comprehensive eye care using the latest diagnostic and surgical technologies to preserve and restore vision.
What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is often called the “silent thief of sight” because it develops gradually and may not show symptoms until significant vision loss occurs. It usually results from increased intraocular pressure (IOP), which damages the optic nerve over time.
There are several types of glaucoma, including:
- Open-Angle Glaucoma: The most common type; develops slowly with no early warning signs.
- Angle-Closure Glaucoma: A medical emergency where pressure builds rapidly, causing sudden pain and vision loss.
- Normal-Tension Glaucoma: Optic nerve damage occurs even when eye pressure is normal.
- Congenital Glaucoma: Present at birth due to abnormal eye development.
Symptoms of Glaucoma
While early stages often have no symptoms, patients may experience:
Gradual loss of peripheral (side) vision
Blurred or cloudy vision
Eye pain or pressure
Halos around lights
Redness or discomfort in the eyes
If you experience any of these signs, consult Dr. Rashi Sharma immediately for a comprehensive eye check-up.
