Glaucoma has earned its nickname: the silent thief of sight. It quietly damages the optic nerve, usually with no pain and no early warning, and once vision is gone it doesn't come back. That is exactly why a quick eye-pressure and nerve check matters so much — catch glaucoma early and we can protect the sight you still have.
It usually has no early symptoms. By the time vision narrows, permanent nerve damage has occurred. Anyone over 40, diabetics, and those with a family history should be screened yearly.
Painless tonometry measures the pressure inside your eye.
OCT and visual-field tests reveal early nerve damage.

Early screening is inexpensive and can save your sight. Cashless mediclaim available for surgical treatment.
Glaucoma is controlled, not cured — the goal is to protect remaining vision. Most patients manage it with daily drops and periodic reviews. Laser (SLT) is a quick day-care procedure; surgery, when needed, needs a short recovery with eye-drops.
The goal is to lower eye pressure and stop further damage — with daily drops, laser (SLT), or surgery for advanced cases. Treatment controls the disease; it doesn't reverse it, which is why early screening matters.
It can't be reversed, but with early diagnosis and treatment its progression can be stopped and remaining vision preserved.
Everyone over 40, and earlier if you have a family history, diabetes or high eye pressure.
