Glaucoma Clinic

Glaucoma is damage to the optic nerve, often from raised eye pressure, which silently steals peripheral vision. Lost vision cannot be restored, so early detection through regular eye tests after 40, or earlier with family history, is crucial.

Treatment with eye drops, laser or surgery lowers pressure and slows damage. Sudden eye pain with halos and vomiting suggests angle-closure glaucoma, an emergency.
