Glaucoma is a chronic disease which requires long term treatment and follow-up. This is the disease which silently makes patients blind before they even realize any symptoms. Hence, glaucoma treatment is very challenging and requires a proper understanding of the disease.
Our hospital has many glaucoma patients who are treated successfully and are following up from many years. It is the awareness about the disease which is most important and that motivates the patients to follow-up. Hence glaucoma evaluation is an important aspect of a complete eye examination.
