Glaucoma
Glaucoma Treatment at Aiva Hospital
Aiva Hospital provides advanced diagnosis and treatment for Glaucoma, a serious eye condition that can gradually damage the optic nerve and lead to permanent vision loss if not treated on time. Our ophthalmology department is equipped with modern diagnostic technology and experienced eye specialists who focus on early detection and effective management of glaucoma to protect patients’ vision.Glaucoma is often called the “silent thief of sight” because it usually develops slowly and may not show noticeable symptoms in its early stages. The condition is commonly caused by increased pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure), which damages the optic nerve responsible for transmitting visual information to the brain.
Symptoms of Glaucoma
In the early stages, Glaucoma may not show clear symptoms. However, as the condition progresses, patients may experience:
- Gradual loss of peripheral (side) vision
- Blurred vision
- Severe eye pain in some cases
- Headaches
- Halos around lights
- Redness in the eyes
- Sudden vision problems in advanced stages
Because symptoms may appear late, regular eye check-ups are very important for early detection
At Aiva Hospital, eye specialists perform comprehensive eye examinations to detect Glaucoma at an early stage. Diagnostic tests may include:
- Measurement of eye pressure (Tonometry)
- Optic nerve examination
- Visual field testing
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT)
- Corneal thickness measurement
These tests help doctors determine the severity of glaucoma and plan the most effective treatment.
