Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions characterized by damage to the optic nerve, typically due to high pressure in the eye. It can lead to vision loss if left untreated. As a renowned glaucoma specialist in Vadodara, Dr. Surbhi Kapadia provides advanced diagnostic and treatment options for glaucoma.
Glaucoma often has no symptoms in its early stages. As the disease progresses, one might experience patchy blind spots in peripheral or central vision, often in both eyes. In acute cases, symptoms can include severe headache, eye pain, blurred vision, and seeing halos around lights.
Risk factors for glaucoma include age (over 60), a family history of the condition, certain medical conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and certain physical eye conditions.
Treatment Options:
While glaucoma damage cannot be reversed, treatment can prevent further vision loss. Options include eye drops, oral medication, laser treatment, or surgery. As a leading ophthalmologist in Vadodara, Dr. Kapadia provides comprehensive treatment plans for managing glaucoma effectively.
