Popular Question

Certainly! Here's a sample FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section for Cataract Services:

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, leading to gradual vision loss and, if left untreated, blindness. It is often associated with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) but can also occur with normal or low IOP.
In the early stages, glaucoma may not cause noticeable symptoms. As the disease progresses, symptoms may include gradual loss of peripheral vision, blurred vision, halos around lights, and eventually, tunnel vision or complete vision loss.
Glaucoma is diagnosed through a comprehensive eye examination, which may include tonometry to measure IOP, ophthalmoscopy to examine the optic nerve, visual field testing, and imaging tests like optical coherence tomography (OCT) to assess the optic nerve and retinal nerve fiber layer.
Glaucoma cannot be cured, but it can be managed effectively to prevent further vision loss. Treatment aims to lower IOP and slow the progression of the disease, preserving remaining vision.
Treatment options for glaucoma include prescription eye drops, oral medications, laser therapy (such as selective laser trabeculoplasty or laser peripheral iridotomy), and surgical procedures (such as trabeculectomy or minimally invasive glaucoma surgery).
While glaucoma cannot be prevented, early detection and treatment can help slow the progression of the disease and preserve vision.
Whether you can drive with glaucoma depends on the severity of your condition and the vision requirements for driving in your location. It's important to check with your eye care provider and local authorities for guidance on driving restrictions or requirements related to glaucoma
Support groups, online forums, and educational resources are available for individuals living with glaucoma and their families.
