The Glaucoma Unit at Eye See Center is a specialized unit for diagnosing and treating glaucoma diseases, which are a group of conditions that affect the optic nerve and can lead to vision loss and blindness. Damage occurs when the pressure of the eye's natural fluid increases slowly and causes harm to the optic nerve, which is responsible for transmitting images to the brain. If the eye pressure continues to rise, the field of vision gradually decreases. Without treatment, this disease can cause blindness over the years.
Services of the Glaucoma Unit:
- Comprehensive eye examinations
- Vision measurement tests
- Intraocular pressure measurement
- Visual field testing
- Optic nerve assessment
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT) for the optic nerve and the anterior part of the eye
- Regular follow-up for intraocular pressure measurement and visual field testing
- Treatment adjustments as needed
Methods of Glaucoma Treatment:
- Medication and eye drops treatment
- Laser treatment
- Micro-surgical treatment
- Visual field testing
- Optic nerve assessment
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT) for the optic nerve and the anterior part of the eye.
