Glaucoma Clinic
Kala Motia detection and pressure monitoring, before vision is lost.
What this service covers
- Eye pressure and optic nerve head monitoring
- Visual field testing on the Octopus perimeter and OCT nerve scans
- Long-term medication, laser and surgical management
Glaucoma can damage the optic nerve gradually, often without pain or an obvious early change in vision. An eye-pressure reading alone cannot confirm or exclude glaucoma; the optic nerve, drainage angle, corneal thickness and visual field may also need assessment.
Who may benefit from a glaucoma check
- Anyone with raised eye pressure or a suspicious optic-nerve appearance
- People with a close family history of glaucoma
- Patients using steroid drops or tablets for a prolonged period
- People with diabetes, previous eye injury or certain other eye conditions
Tests used to build the full picture
The clinic combines pressure measurement with examination of the optic nerve. OCT nerve scans and visual-field testing can document structural and functional change. Repeating comparable tests over time is often more informative than relying on one result.
Long-term management
Glaucoma care aims to reduce the risk of further nerve damage. Depending on the type and stage, this may involve drops, laser treatment, surgery or continued observation. Treatment cannot restore nerve tissue already lost, which is why consistent follow-up matters.
The target pressure and review interval are individual. Do not stop prescribed glaucoma treatment without discussing it with the treating clinician.
Frequently asked questions
What is glaucoma (kala motia)?
Glaucoma is damage to the optic nerve, usually caused by raised pressure inside the eye. It is often silent — vision is lost from the sides first, so you may not notice until late. Early detection saves sight.
Can glaucoma be cured?
Glaucoma cannot be cured, but it can be controlled. With medication, laser or surgery, eye pressure is kept in a safe range and further vision loss is prevented. Lifelong monitoring is essential.
How is glaucoma detected?
We check eye pressure (tonometry), examine the optic nerve, and test your visual field on the Octopus perimeter. OCT nerve scans give a detailed baseline and track changes over time.
