Glaucoma Treatment
Ophthalmology treatment in Bangalore
In glaucoma, the optic nerve is compromised by a number of eye conditions. A healthy optic nerve transmits information regarding vision from the retina to the brain and is essential for clear vision. High eye pressure is commonly associated with optic nerve damage. Glaucoma can develop even in cases in which the eye pressure is normal.
While glaucoma may occur at any age, it is more common in older adults. The disease is one of the leading causes of blindness in older adults.
Identifying the disease
You will be examined by the health care provider after they have reviewed your medical history. There are a number of tests that may be performed by your healthcare provider, which may include:
In order to treat glaucoma, the intraocular pressure must be lowered. Various treatment options may be available, which may include prescription eye drops, oral medications, laser treatments, surgery, or a combination of these options.

Eyedrops
Often, the first step in treating glaucoma is to use eye drops that are prescribed by a physician. By enhancing the drainage of fluid from the eye, some may be able to reduce eye pressure. Other medications decrease the production of fluid by the eye. You may be instructed to use more than one eye drop according to how low the ocular pressure needs to be.Book an appointment to have the best treatment.

Medication taken orally
In some cases, eye drops may not be sufficient to reduce eye pressure. Therefore, your eye physician may also advise you to take oral medications. It is typically a substance that inhibits carbonic anhydrase. The possible side effects of this drug include excessive urination, tingling of the fingers and toes, depression, nausea, kidney stones, and increased blood pressure.
