Glaucoma Treatments

Glaucoma destroys peripheral vision silently and painlessly there are no symptoms until a significant proportion of optic nerve fibres are already permanently lost. By the time patients notice a change, irreversible damage has often already occurred. Without treatment, the condition progresses steadily to blindness.

At Peshawar Eye Hospital, glaucoma is detected early through OCT optic nerve analysis, pressure measurement, and visual field testing then treated according to disease stage. Options include daily pressure lowering drops, Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) as a drop-free alternative, and surgical drainage procedures including trabeculectomy and tube surgery for advanced cases.
