Glaucoma is an eye disease that damages the optic nerve, usually due to increased pressure inside the eye. If left untreated, it can lead to permanent vision loss. Dr. Sanjay Kumar provides expert glaucoma diagnosis and treatment at SK Eye Hospital, Gunjur.
Glaucoma often has no symptoms in its early stages. As the disease progresses, you may notice blurred vision, loss of side vision, eye pain, headaches, halos around lights, or sudden vision changes.
People over 40, those with diabetes, high eye pressure, a family history of glaucoma, or long-term steroid use are at a higher risk of developing glaucoma.
You should consult Dr. Sanjay Kumar if you have a family history of glaucoma, high eye pressure, vision changes, or are over the age of 40 and need a routine eye examination.
Glaucoma is diagnosed through a comprehensive eye examination, which may include eye pressure measurement, optic nerve evaluation, visual field testing, and advanced eye imaging.
