We offer all the facilities required in the diagnosis and the management of glaucoma at our hospital.

Initial glaucoma workup involves the measurement of the intraocular pressure (IOP) with the help of a Goldmann’s Applanation tonometer, evaluation of the angle of the eye with a Goldmann goniolens , examination of the optic nerve head by slit lamp bio microscopy and the measurement of the central corneal thickness using a pachymeter. We offer all these facilities in our hospital.

Visual field monitoring is a very important part of glaucoma management. We have the Octopus computerized perimetry with TOP strategy that allows us to monitor visual fields efficiently.

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is the latest in glaucoma diagnostics that gives us a quantitative measurement of the retinal nerve fibre layer, the part of the eye damaged in glaucoma. We offer this technology to you in the form of the Carl Zeiss Stratus 3 OCT.

Stereoscopic photographs of the disc for documentation of the changes in the optic disc can be taken on the the Zeiss VisuPac and FF450 plus fundus camera.

Although medications are the mainstay of glaucoma management, laser is required in certain types of glaucoma. We have the facility to do a laser iridotomy using the Zeiss YAG laser in cases of angle closure glaucoma. Another laser procedure in glaucoma, the laser trabeculoplasty is also done sometimes, for which we have the Diode laser.

Surgical procedures in glaucoma including trabeculectomy with and without antimetabolites, trabeculotomy and even glaucoma drainage valve implant placements are performed by qualified surgeons at our centre.
