Comprehensive Glaucoma Care for Every Stage of Disease

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide and is often called the “Silent Thief of Sight.” In many patients, glaucoma develops gradually without noticeable symptoms until significant vision loss has occurred.

At Best Eye Hospital, Delhi, we offer comprehensive glaucoma diagnosis, advanced imaging, medical treatment, laser therapy, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), complex glaucoma surgery, and advanced 3D Endoscopic Glaucoma Procedures. Our goal is early diagnosis, preservation of optic nerve health, and lifelong protection of vision.

What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, the structure responsible for transmitting visual information from the eye to the brain.

Although elevated eye pressure is a major risk factor, glaucoma can occur even when eye pressure remains within the normal range.

Without proper treatment, glaucoma can progressively reduce peripheral vision and eventually cause permanent blindness.

Types of Glaucoma We Treat all Types of Glaucoma

( Early to Advance)

Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG)

The most common form of glaucoma, usually progressing slowly and painlessly.

Angle Closure Glaucoma

A potentially sight-threatening condition caused by blockage of the eye’s drainage angle.

Normal Tension Glaucoma (NTG)

A special form of glaucoma in which optic nerve damage occurs despite normal eye pressure measurements.

Ocular Hypertension

Elevated eye pressure without detectable optic nerve damage.

Secondary Glaucoma

Caused by:

  • Diabetes
  • Eye injuries
  • Inflammation
  • Steroid medications
  • Previous eye surgery

Congenital & Pediatric Glaucoma

Glaucoma occurring in infants and children.

Neovascular Glaucoma

Associated with diabetic eye disease and retinal vascular disorders.

Uveitic Glaucoma

Glaucoma associated with ocular inflammation.

Refractory & Complex Glaucoma

Advanced glaucoma requiring specialized surgical treatment.

Symptoms of Glaucoma

Many patients experience no symptoms during the early stages.

Possible warning signs include:

  • Gradual loss of side vision
  • Blurred vision
  • Eye pain
  • Headache
  • Redness of the eye
  • Halos around lights
  • Difficulty adapting to darkness
  • Sudden vision loss
  • Nausea and vomiting in acute glaucoma

Comprehensive Glaucoma Diagnostic Facilities

Our centre is equipped with advanced technology to detect glaucoma at the earliest stage.

Complete Glaucoma Evaluation Includes

Goldmann Applanation Tonometry

Precise measurement of eye pressure.

Pachymetry

Measurement of corneal thickness for accurate glaucoma assessment.

Gonioscopy

Detailed examination of the drainage angle.

Dilated Optic Nerve Evaluation

Assessment of glaucoma-related optic nerve damage.

Computerized Visual Field Analysis

Detection and monitoring of peripheral vision loss.

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

High-resolution imaging of:

  • Optic Nerve Head
  • Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer (RNFL)
  • Ganglion Cell Complex (GCC)
  • Macula

OCT Angiography (OCTA)

Evaluation of optic nerve and retinal blood circulation.

Fundus Photography

Digital documentation and long-term monitoring.

Corneal Hysteresis Assessment

Additional glaucoma risk evaluation.

Anterior Segment Imaging

Detailed analysis of angle structures.

3D Glaucoma Imaging

Advanced imaging for diagnosis and progression monitoring.

Normal Tension Glaucoma (NTG) Best Eye Centre

Not all glaucoma patients have high eye pressure.

In Normal Tension Glaucoma, optic nerve damage and visual field loss occur despite eye pressure measurements remaining within the normal range.

Our specialists provide advanced evaluation using:

  • OCT RNFL Analysis
  • Ganglion Cell Complex Assessment
  • OCT Angiography
  • Visual Field Testing
  • Optic Nerve Imaging
  • Neuro-Ophthalmic Assessment when indicated

Early diagnosis is critical because optic nerve damage may continue despite apparently normal eye pressure readings.

Optic Nerve Degeneration & Retinal Nerve Fiber Loss Management

Vision loss may result from optic nerve degeneration even when traditional glaucoma findings are not obvious.

Our centre evaluates and manages:

  • Optic Nerve Degeneration
  • Optic Neuropathy
  • RNFL (Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer) Loss
  • Ischemic Optic Neuropathy
  • Glaucomatous Optic Neuropathy
  • Neuro-Ophthalmic Disorders
  • Progressive Visual Field Defects
  • Unexplained Vision Loss
  • Optic Disc Abnormalities

Advanced imaging allows detection of subtle nerve damage before significant vision loss occurs.

Medical Treatment for Glaucoma

The primary goal of treatment is to lower eye pressure and protect the optic nerve.

Modern Anti-Glaucoma Medications 

Treatment options may include:

  • Prostaglandin Analogues
  • Beta Blockers
  • Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors
  • Alpha Agonists
  • Rho-Kinase Inhibitors
  • Combination Eye Drops

Treatment is individualized according to the type and severity of glaucoma.

Laser Treatment for Glaucoma

Laser procedures can effectively reduce eye pressure and improve drainage.

Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT)

  • Non-invasive
  • Effective for open-angle glaucoma
  • May reduce dependence on eye drops

Argon Laser Trabeculoplasty (ALT)

Suitable in selected cases.

Laser Peripheral Iridotomy (LPI)

Commonly used for angle-closure glaucoma.

Cyclophotocoagulation (CPC)

Used in advanced and refractory glaucoma cases.

Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS)

Modern glaucoma procedures designed to reduce eye pressure with quicker recovery.

Benefits include:

  • Smaller incisions
  • Faster healing
  • Reduced tissue trauma
  • Enhanced safety profile

Advanced Surgical Treatment for Glaucoma

Trabeculectomy

The gold standard glaucoma filtration surgery for many patients.

Glaucoma Drainage Devices

Used in difficult and advanced glaucoma.

Examples include:

  • Ahmed Valve
  • Baerveldt Implant
  • Other drainage devices

Combined Cataract & Glaucoma Surgery

Suitable for patients suffering from both cataract and glaucoma.

Advanced 3D Endoscopic Glaucoma Procedures

Best Eye Hospital , Dr. Hanspal S Bhinder has extensive experience in advanced 3d endoscopic ophthalmic procedures.

Endoscopic Cyclophotocoagulation (ECP)

A minimally invasive glaucoma procedure that directly visualizes and treats ciliary processes using endoscopic technology.

Benefits may include:

  • Targeted treatment
  • Controlled reduction of aqueous humor production
  • Minimal disruption of surrounding tissues
  • Can be combined with cataract surgery

3D Endoscopic Glaucoma Surgery

Our team has actively contributed to the advancement of endoscopic ophthalmic surgery, including:

  • Endoscopic Glaucoma Procedures
  • Endoscopic Cyclophotocoagulation
  • 3D Endoscopic Visualization Systems
  • Complex Combined Retina & Glaucoma Procedures

Advanced 3D visualization may enhance surgical precision in selected cases.

Pediatric & Congenital Glaucoma Services

  • Long-term visual rehabilitation

Who Should Get a Glaucoma Screening?

You should undergo a comprehensive glaucoma examination if you:

  • Are above 40 years of age
  • Have a family history of glaucoma ( Kaala Motia)
  • Have diabetes
  • Have high myopia
  • Use steroids regularly
  • Have elevated eye pressure
  • Have optic nerve abnormalities

Frequently Asked Questions

Can glaucoma be cured?

Glaucoma usually cannot be cured, but it can often be successfully controlled with early diagnosis and proper treatment.

Can lost vision be restored?

Vision already lost from glaucoma is generally irreversible. Treatment aims to prevent further damage.

Is glaucoma hereditary?

Yes. Family history is one of the strongest risk factors.

Can glaucoma occur with normal eye pressure?

Yes. This is known as Normal Tension Glaucoma (NTG).

How often should glaucoma patients be examined?

The frequency depends on disease severity and risk factors. Your glaucoma specialist will recommend a personalized follow-up schedule.
