Understanding Glaucoma
What You Should Know About Glaucoma (काचबिंदू)
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible vision loss. Vision lost due to glaucoma usually cannot be restored, but early diagnosis and proper treatment can help slow further damage.
Glaucoma often develops slowly and without noticeable symptoms, so many people may not realise they have it until an eye examination.
Living with glaucoma can bring fear, anxiety about the future and concerns about losing independence. Since glaucoma often requires lifelong care, regular check-ups, daily medication and treatment costs can also be challenging.
In simple terms, glaucoma doesn’t just change how people see — it can also affect how safe and confident they feel about their vision.
At Shri Ganesh Netralaya, our experienced glaucoma specialist aims to help protect your vision through appropriate eye tests, personalised treatment plans, clear communication, patient education and ongoing support. Treatment may include medicines, laser procedures or surgery, depending on your condition.
Glaucoma Risk Factors and Warning Signs
Glaucoma can develop without noticeable symptoms. Regular eye examinations are especially important if you have risk factors such as:
Age over 40 yrs
Family history of glaucoma
Previous eye injury or eye surgery
Long-term steroid use
Certain medical conditions, such as diabetes
High eye pressure or other findings identified during an eye examination
Less contrast, sudden disappearance of objects in field of vision, world appearing dull
Children with unusually big eyes
Sudden loss of vision, severe pain, redness, headache
What Leads to Glaucoma?
Glaucoma damages the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure inside the eye. However, it can also occur with normal eye pressure. It usually develops slowly without noticeable symptoms, but a sudden rise in eye pressure can cause an emergency. Age, family history and previous eye injuries can increase the risk. Regular eye examinations help detect glaucoma early.
How We Diagnose Glaucoma
Early detection starts with a comprehensive eye examination. Tests may include:
- Applanation Tonometry: Measures eye pressure.
- Gonioscopy: Examines the eye’s drainage angle.
- Visual Field Test: Checks for loss of peripheral vision.
- Pachymetry: Measures corneal thickness.
- OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography):
Helps detect early changes in the optic nerve.
Types of Glaucoma & Treatment Options
Every case of glaucoma is different. At Shri Ganesh Netralaya, our experienced glaucoma specialist recommends a treatment plan based on your diagnosis and individual needs.
| Type of Glaucoma | Treatment Options |
|---|---|
| Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma | Eye drops, laser treatment or surgery, depending on the condition |

Frequently Asked Questions
Is glaucoma curable?
Glaucoma cannot usually be cured, and vision lost due to glaucoma generally cannot be restored. However, treatment can help control the condition and reduce the risk of further vision loss.
Can glaucoma be prevented?
Glaucoma cannot always be prevented. Regular eye examinations can help detect it early and allow timely treatment.
Does glaucoma only affect older people?
No. Glaucoma can affect people of any age, including infants and children, although the risk generally increases with age.
Is glaucoma surgery painful?
Glaucoma surgery is performed under appropriate anaesthesia. Some discomfort may occur, and your ophthalmologist can explain what to expect.
How often should I get a glaucoma test?
The frequency depends on your age, family history and other risk factors. Your ophthalmologist can recommend an appropriate screening schedule.
Will I need to use eye drops for life?
Some patients need long-term or lifelong eye drops, while others may require laser treatment or surgery. Your treatment depends on your condition.
Can glaucoma cause complete blindness if untreated?
Yes. Untreated glaucoma can cause progressive, irreversible vision loss and may eventually lead to blindness.
What is the cost of glaucoma treatment in Nanded?
The cost depends on the type and stage of glaucoma and the treatment required. A consultation can help determine the suitable treatment options and estimated cost.
Does health insurance cover glaucoma treatment?
Coverage depends on your insurance policy, treatment required and eligibility. Check with your insurer or scheme provider for details.
With trifocal IOL and multifocal IOL, dependency on glasses is reduced drastically, sometimes being total spectacle free.
Can glaucoma come back after treatment or surgery?
Glaucoma requires ongoing monitoring even after treatment, as eye pressure may change and further treatment may be needed.
Do cataract and glaucoma always coexist?
No. Cataract and glaucoma are different eye conditions, but they can occur together, particularly as age increases.
Do cataract lead to glaucoma?
In some cases, an advanced cataract can cause secondary glaucoma. Certain eye conditions may also increase the risk of both. An ophthalmologist can assess your individual risk.
