What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, leading to vision loss and potentially blindness if left untreated. It is often associated with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), but can also occur with normal or low IOP.

Increased intraocular pressure (IOP)
Other risk factors include age, family history, ethnicity, and certain medical conditions like diabetes and hypertension.
Glaucoma is often referred to as the "silent thief of sight" because it typically has no early symptoms.
As the condition progresses, individuals may experience gradual peripheral vision loss, tunnel vision, blurred vision, halos around lights, and eye pain or redness.
Measures the extent of peripheral vision loss.
Evaluates the drainage angle of the eye to determine the type of glaucoma.
Provides detailed images of the optic nerve head, allowing for early detection of glaucomatous damage.
Measures the angle of the anterior chamber to assess for angle-closure glaucoma.
Glaucoma is a chronic, progressive condition that requires lifelong management to preserve vision.
Early detection and treatment are crucial for slowing disease progression and preventing vision loss.
A gold standard in glaucoma surgery, TRAB creates a new drainage pathway to relieve intraocular pressure (IOP).
Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS): Embracing innovation, MIGS procedures offer a less invasive approach, targeting various points of aqueous outflow to reduce IOP with minimal tissue disruption.
MIGS encompasses a range of innovative procedures designed to augment conventional glaucoma management. By enhancing aqueous humor outflow through micro-incisions and stents, MIGS ensures effective pressure control with rapid recovery and minimal complications.
In cases where traditional filtration surgery proves challenging, glaucoma drainage devices provide a viable alternative. These devices facilitate aqueous drainage from the anterior chamber to a subconjunctival or episcleral reservoir, effectively lowering IOP.
