Glaucoma
is a condition that is characterized by unhealthy pressure within an eye,
resulting in optic nerve damage and vision problems. Glaucoma occurs when there
is raise in intraocular pressure, which happens when there are changes in the eye’s drainage system, such as a blockage
or a resistance to the normal drainage process.
Symptoms
include reduced field of vision, scotoma
(the sensation of having a blind area within your field of vision), halos
around light, eye pain, problems with focusing vision, and exercise-related
headaches. Glaucoma is typically managed with proper medication, but surgery at
an eye hospital in Coimbatore in the form of trabeculoplasty
may be necessary if the eye pressure cannot be controlled with medication. Laser
trabeculoplasty and laser iridotomy are the most advanced modern laser
available to treat Glacuoma in india.
Medications
may help manage certain kinds of glaucoma, but laser treatment may be
recommended for effective treatment, especially if the condition has begun
interfering with your lifestyle or livelihood. Eye hospitals in Tamilnadu have
state-of-the-art facilities that are qualified to conduct laser iridotomy using
advanced Zeiss YAG laser, the type of laser that is recommended for angle
closure glaucoma. Laser trabeculoplasty may be administered using the diode
laser alone or in combination with YAG lasers in some cases, too.
Only
qualified ophthalmic surgeons should administer YAG laser eye surgery at accredited eye hospitals in Coimbatore.
Laser surgery should not hurt, and the treatment is considered an outpatient
procedure. YAG laser is used to create an outflow channel in the eye to
decrease the pressure within.
