Protect Your Vision with Early Glaucoma Detection and Expert Treatment

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide. Often called the "Silent Thief of Sight," glaucoma gradually damages the optic nerve without causing noticeable symptoms in its early stages. At Tharkude Eye Care, we provide comprehensive Glaucoma Diagnostic, Prognostic, Medical, Laser, and Surgical Services in Erandwane, Pune, helping patients preserve their vision through early detection and personalized treatment.

Under the expert care of Dr. Pranjali Tharkude, our clinic offers advanced glaucoma evaluation using modern diagnostic technology, individualized treatment plans, long-term monitoring, and referral-based surgical management when required.

Whether you have elevated eye pressure, a family history of glaucoma, diabetes, or vision changes, regular glaucoma screening is essential to protect your eyesight.

What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, usually due to increased intraocular pressure (IOP). Without timely diagnosis and treatment, glaucoma can cause permanent vision loss.

Since early glaucoma rarely causes pain or symptoms, regular eye examinations are the most effective way to detect the disease before significant vision loss occurs.

Types of Glaucoma

We diagnose and manage various types of glaucoma, including:

• Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma

• Angle-Closure Glaucoma

• Normal Tension Glaucoma

• Secondary Glaucoma

• Congenital Glaucoma

• Ocular Hypertension

• Glaucoma Suspect Evaluation

Symptoms of Glaucoma

Early glaucoma often has no symptoms. As the disease progresses, patients may experience:

• Gradual loss of peripheral (side) vision

• Blurred vision

• Eye pain

• Headache

• Halos around lights

• Redness of the eye

• Nausea and vomiting (acute glaucoma)

• Sudden vision loss (emergency)

Do not wait for symptoms. Regular glaucoma screening is the best way to detect the condition early.

Comprehensive Glaucoma Diagnostic Package

Our advanced glaucoma screening package includes:

Complete Eye Examination

A detailed assessment of your overall eye health and visual function.

Eye Pressure Measurement (Tonometry)

Accurate measurement of intraocular pressure to identify elevated eye pressure.

Gonioscopy

Evaluation of the eye's drainage angle to classify the type of glaucoma.

Optic Nerve Assessment

Detailed examination of the optic nerve for signs of glaucoma damage.

Visual Field Analysis (Perimetry)

Assessment of peripheral vision to detect early functional vision loss.

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

High-resolution imaging of the optic nerve and retinal nerve fiber layer for early diagnosis and progression monitoring.

Pachymetry

Measurement of corneal thickness for accurate interpretation of eye pressure readings.

Glaucoma Prognostic & Monitoring Services

Long-term monitoring is essential to prevent glaucoma progression.

Our follow-up services include:

• Eye Pressure Monitoring

• Serial OCT Analysis

• Repeat Visual Field Testing

• Optic Nerve Photography

• Disease Progression Assessment

• Medication Effectiveness Evaluation

• Individualized Follow-Up Planning

These evaluations help us determine whether glaucoma is stable or progressing and allow timely adjustments to your treatment.

Glaucoma Treatment Options

Treatment is tailored to the severity and type of glaucoma.

Medical Management

Prescription eye drops and medications to reduce intraocular pressure.

Laser Glaucoma Procedures

Laser treatment may be recommended for selected patients to improve fluid drainage and lower eye pressure.

Glaucoma Surgery

When medications or laser treatment are insufficient, surgical procedures may be advised to better control intraocular pressure. Our team provides comprehensive evaluation, pre-operative counseling, postoperative care, and referral or surgical management based on the patient's individual needs.

• Adults over 40 years of age

Frequently Asked Questions

Can glaucoma be cured?

Glaucoma cannot usually be cured, but early diagnosis and treatment can effectively control the disease and help prevent further vision loss.

Is glaucoma hereditary?

Yes. A family history of glaucoma increases your risk, making regular eye examinations especially important.

How often should glaucoma patients have follow-up visits?

The frequency depends on the severity of the condition and your response to treatment. Your ophthalmologist will recommend an individualized follow-up schedule.

Is glaucoma surgery safe?

Modern glaucoma surgery is generally safe and is recommended when medications or laser treatment do not adequately control eye pressure. The choice of procedure depends on the type and severity of glaucoma.

Does glaucoma always cause symptoms?

No. Most patients experience no symptoms until significant vision loss has occurred, which is why routine screening is essential.
