Glaucoma treatment depends on early diagnosis, the type of glaucoma, and adherence to long-term therapy. Although vision already affected by glaucoma cannot be restored, early detection and appropriate treatment can effectively control the condition. At Manipal Hospitals, the journey of glaucoma care begins with a detailed eye evaluation. It includes assessment of the optic nerve, measurement of intraocular pressure, and visual field testing to determine the severity of the disease.
Based on the findings, an experienced team of ophthalmologists provides a personalised treatment plan for each patient. This starts with pressure-lowering eye drops and, in some cases, can advance to surgical procedures or laser therapy if needed. A key part of care is regular follow-up visits. This allows monitoring of eye pressure, adjustment of treatment if necessary, and evaluation of optic nerve health. With the doctor’s guidance, people can continue their daily activities with minimal disruption. Ongoing monitoring and personalised treatment help control eye pressure and protect vision over the long term.
