Treatments
Where Science Meets
Sight-Saving Solutions
Glaucoma treatment focuses on lowering eye pressure to protect your optic nerve and preserve the vision you have.
- Prescription Eye Drops – Assists in lowering intraocular pressure by either reducing fluid production or enhancing drainage.
- Oral Medications – These are indicated when topical therapies are insufficient; they help control eye pressure at a systemic level. Examples include Timolol (Betimol, Istalol, Timoptic) and Betaxolol (Betoptic S).
- Laser Therapy – Procedures such as trabeculoplasty enhance fluid outflow, particularly for patients with open-angle glaucoma.
- Microsurgery (Trabeculectomy) – In more advanced, unresponsive cases, a new drainage route is constructed to reduce eye pressure.
- Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) – Novel techniques that are less invasive, have a quicker recovery time and have fewer complications.
- Ongoing Monitoring & Eye Exams – Consistent appointments are necessary to adapt treatments and monitor disease status over time.

Faq’s?
How does glaucoma cause vision loss?
Glaucoma is caused by high levels of pressure within the eye. This intraocular pressure (IOP) presses on the optic nerve, causing damage and eventually leading to permanent vision loss.
Why is glaucoma called ‘The Silent Thief of Sight’?
Glaucoma has been nicknamed the silent thief of sight because it often causes permanent vision loss before the disease is even detected. In its early stages, glaucoma does not typically present with any symptoms that would send you to your eye doctor with complaints of vision changes. Therefore, by the time you see your eye doctor, a large amount of vision loss has already occurred.
What is ‘tunnel vision’?
If glaucoma is not effectively controlled at an early stage, the disease can cause severe peripheral vision loss, resulting in a condition called ‘tunnel vision’. Tunnel vision blocks your ‘side vision’, and limits your field of vision to strictly seeing images in your central vision, or straight ahead.
Will glaucoma affect all of my vision?
Peripheral vision is affected first, and if not effectively controlled at this point, can result in tunnel vision. As the disease progresses, central vision is affected next, leaving the person with partial or complete permanent vision loss.
How common is glaucoma?
Glaucoma affects more than 70 million people worldwide. Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness and accounts for 12.3% of global blindness. Glaucoma affects up to 5% of adults aged 70 and above and increases to over 9% for those 80 and older.
Can stress worsen glaucoma?
Yes, stress can elevate intraocular pressure, which may aggravate glaucoma.
Is glaucoma surgery permanent?
While surgery can significantly lower eye pressure, regular follow-ups are necessary as pressure may fluctuate.
Can glaucoma develop suddenly?
Yes, acute angle-closure glaucoma can develop suddenly and require emergency treatment.
