Glaucoma Services – Advanced Eye Care for Vision Protection
At Raahi Netradham Eye Hospital, we provide comprehensive Glaucoma Services focused on early detection, accurate diagnosis, and long-term management of glaucoma to help protect your eyesight. Glaucoma is a serious eye condition that damages the optic nerve, often due to increased intraocular pressure (IOP), and can lead to permanent vision loss if left untreated. Because glaucoma usually develops silently, regular eye examinations are essential.
Our glaucoma specialists combine advanced diagnostic technology, evidence-based treatments, and personalized care plans to slow disease progression and preserve vision at every stage.
What Is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a group of eye disorders that gradually damage the optic nerve—the pathway that sends visual information from the eye to the brain. The most common forms include Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma, Angle-Closure Glaucoma, Normal-Tension Glaucoma, and Secondary Glaucoma. While elevated eye pressure is a key risk factor, glaucoma can also occur with normal pressure levels.
Why Early Detection Matters
- Vision loss from glaucoma is irreversible
- Early stages are often asymptomatic
- Timely treatment can slow or stop progression
- Regular screening is crucial, especially for high-risk individuals
High-risk groups include people over 40, those with a family history of glaucoma, diabetes, long-term steroid use, or high eye pressure.

Our Glaucoma Diagnostic Services
We use hospital-grade diagnostic tools to detect glaucoma early and monitor progression accurately:
- Tonometry – Measures intraocular pressure
- Gonioscopy – Evaluates the eye’s drainage angle
- Optic Nerve Evaluation – Detailed assessment of nerve health
- Visual Field Testing (Perimetry) – Detects peripheral vision loss
- OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) – High-resolution imaging of optic nerve fibers
- Pachymetry – Measures corneal thickness for accurate IOP readings
Glaucoma Treatment Options
Treatment is customized based on glaucoma type, severity, and patient lifestyle:
Medical Management
- Prescription anti-glaucoma eye drops
- Oral medications (when required)
- Regular monitoring and dose optimization
Laser Glaucoma Treatment
- Laser Trabeculoplasty to improve fluid drainage
- Laser Iridotomy for angle-closure glaucoma
- Minimally invasive, quick recovery, OPD procedure
Surgical Glaucoma Management
- Trabeculectomy
- Glaucoma Drainage Devices
- Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS)
These procedures help control eye pressure when medications or laser therapy are insufficient.
