Early detection and consistent care to protect your vision
Glaucoma Treatment at Perfect Vision Laser Eye Hospital, Jaipur
Glaucoma can develop without pain or noticeable changes in eyesight. At Perfect Vision Laser Eye Hospital – Dr. Virendra Laser Phaco Surgery Centre, Jaipur, glaucoma care focuses on identifying damage early, controlling eye pressure and monitoring your vision over time.
What is glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, which carries visual information from the eye to the brain.
Raised eye pressure is an important risk factor, but glaucoma can also develop when pressure falls within the usual range. Vision already lost through glaucoma cannot generally be restored. Treatment aims to protect the remaining vision by slowing or preventing further damage.
Types of glaucoma
Primary open-angle glaucoma
Usually progresses slowly and painlessly, often affecting side vision before patients notice a problem.
Normal-tension glaucoma
Optic nerve damage occurs despite eye pressure being within the usual range.
Angle-closure glaucoma
The eye’s drainage pathway becomes blocked. It may develop gradually or cause a sudden, painful attack.
Congenital glaucoma
Abnormal development of the drainage system affects babies or young children and requires prompt specialist care.
Secondary glaucoma
Develops because of another problem, such as eye injury, inflammation or steroid-related pressure elevation.
Who should consider screening?
Regular assessment is particularly important with increasing age, a family history of glaucoma, diabetes, previous eye injury or prolonged steroid use. Significant short-sightedness or long-sightedness can also influence risk.
Do not wait for symptoms if you have risk factors.
Symptoms requiring urgent attention
Sudden severe eye pain, a red eye, blurred vision, halos around lights, headache or nausea may indicate acute angle closure. Seek immediate eye emergency care rather than waiting for a routine appointment.
How is glaucoma assessed?
A glaucoma evaluation examines more than eye pressure. It may include optic nerve assessment, visual-field testing, OCT scans of nerve tissue, corneal thickness measurement and examination of the drainage angle.
Repeat tests help your doctor identify changes and assess whether treatment is working.
Treatment options
Medicines
Prescription drops lower pressure by reducing fluid production or improving drainage. Use them exactly as instructed and report side effects.
Laser treatment
Depending on the glaucoma type, options may include trabeculoplasty to improve drainage, iridotomy to create an opening in the iris, or cyclophotocoagulation to reduce fluid production.
Surgery
Procedures such as trabeculectomy create an alternative drainage pathway when appropriate.
Your treatment plan depends on the glaucoma type, existing damage and pressure control.

“I have been under constant treatment n monitoring of glucoma fr last 4 years - of this legendry Dr Virender Agarwal . After watching his 6th ' Midas ' intuition of diagnosis, when the cataract operations of both the eyes was warranted, without blinking an eye, Dr Agarwal was natural choice ! My brother-in -law too, got operated from him thereafter. Once a patient learns he is Gold Medalist from, behold, AIIMS, his trust in him is tremendous 👏 👌 👍 All that described by me in conservative words, he has an aura of a saint....very earthy ....n humble. His organisation's story shall be incomplete without a word for his staff ! They seem to work like volunteers, n not as EMPLOYEES. Soft spoken n robotic precision- like attitude. I pray long years of excellent health fr this Dr n his organisation to enable them serve the humanity with this zeal n enthu . RC SHARMA. SFS ,MANSAROVAR ,”

We are falling short of words but still trying our best to express gratitude. We are truly blessed & thankful for early diagnosis. Thank you so so much and we will do my best to follow your advice to the T. You guys are amazing and we surely recommend this place a modern temple to get your periodic proactive eye check ups or any other ophthalmic issues. Way to go!”
“The staff and doctors were very nice and there was not a very long wait time. Great organization and system in the hospital. All the eye tests were super easy to understand and were done efficiently. The doctors were very gentle and caring giving tissues whenever needed and checking if you are ok. I definitely would recommend this hospital for any eye problems or even just a checkup. My doctor was Dr. Neha Patak, she was extremely soft spoken and really caring. Salik was very gentle when lifting eyelids and that was very much appreciated.”
