A silent eye disease that requires ongoing monitoring
Glaucoma is an eye disease that progressively damages the optic nerve and, in many cases, develops without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. Early detection is therefore essential to identify changes before significant vision loss occurs.
Although vision loss caused by glaucoma cannot be reversed, accurate diagnosis and specialist follow-up can slow its progression and help preserve your sight for longer. At our clinic, we assess each case individually to recommend the most appropriate treatment and monitoring plan.
Glaucoma usually causes no symptoms in its early stages. Regular eye examinations are essential for early detection.
Our clinic uses advanced technology to provide a comprehensive assessment of your eye health.
Treatment Options
We select the most appropriate option according to each patient’s needs and how the condition is progressing.
Eye drops designed to reduce intraocular pressure and help slow the progression of glaucoma.
Procedures such as laser trabeculoplasty or iridotomy, recommended according to the type of glaucoma and each patient’s individual characteristics.
A range of surgical techniques and drainage devices may be considered when other treatments do not provide sufficient control or when the individual case requires surgery.
Regular examinations to assess eye pressure, the optic nerve and the visual field, adjusting treatment whenever necessary.
Close, clear and continuous follow-up
We Explain Your Condition Clearly
We want you to understand what is happening, how the condition may progress and which options are available, always using straightforward language without unnecessary medical jargon.
Follow-up with the Same Specialist
As glaucoma is a chronic condition, we aim for you to see the same specialist whenever possible, ensuring continuity and a thorough understanding of your progress.
Decisions Tailored to Each Patient
We consider your test results, response to treatment and individual needs to recommend the most appropriate next step, without pressure and with complete honesty.
Your Questions Answered
The damage glaucoma causes to the optic nerve cannot be reversed. However, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can slow its progression and help preserve vision for longer.
Yes. Open-angle glaucoma often progresses silently and may not cause noticeable symptoms in its early stages. This is why regular eye examinations are essential for early detection.
Not necessarily. Some people have ocular hypertension without optic nerve damage, while others may develop glaucoma despite eye pressure readings considered normal. A comprehensive assessment is required for diagnosis.
Assessment may include measuring intraocular pressure, examining the optic nerve, visual field testing, OCT and evaluation of the iridocorneal angle. The specialist will select the appropriate tests for each patient.
Glaucoma is usually a chronic condition that requires regular monitoring and often ongoing treatment. Follow-up appointments allow us to assess its progression and adjust eye drops, laser treatment or surgery whenever necessary.
