Glaucoma · Himayat Nagar
Glaucoma, tracked scientifically, visit after visit.
Glaucoma cannot be cured, but it can be controlled for life if it is monitored properly. How carefully we track it is what keeps your vision safe.
Glaucoma monitoring illustration What it is
It quietly damages the optic nerve.
Glaucoma often steals side vision first, so slowly you do not notice until a lot is gone. Measurement matters more than how your eyes feel, and a "normal" eye pressure doesn't rule it out.
Honest guidance
Stable for now, or time to adjust?
Your surgeon compares every visit to the last. Trends over time, not single readings, protect sight.
Pressure or fields changing
Readings or scans are shifting. We adjust treatment early, before vision is affected, not after.
Treatment paths
Least intervention that keeps pressure safe.
Most glaucoma is controlled with drops. Some patients benefit from laser. We choose carefully and keep watching.
Each visit
How we diagnose and monitor.
The same diagnostics we use for diabetic eye screening, so one visit can cover more than one concern. New to these tests? See OCT vs visual field, explained.
Visual fields
Automated testing maps side vision. Not painful, but it needs your attention.
OCT imaging
Measures the nerve-fibre layer and optic nerve head in detail.
Compare visits
Every scan compared to your baseline and the last visit, not judged in isolation.
Surgeon review
Your surgeon personally reviews fields and OCT before your plan is set.
Personal attention, start to finish
An experienced surgeon looks after you personally.
Your assessment, your glaucoma care and follow-up are handled as one continuous plan, by an experienced eye surgeon who knows your eye and your history, so nothing is lost between the consultation, the procedure and the visits after.

Before you choose any eye surgeon
Questions worth asking, of anyone.
Your sight is not where to bargain-hunt. Ask these of any practice you are considering:
- Will I meet the surgeon who will operate, before the day?
- Will one experienced surgeon take responsibility for my care?
- Is the lens or plan chosen for my eye and my life, or for a package?
- If something needs attention afterwards, who handles it?
- Will someone tell me honestly if I don't need surgery yet?
At Dr. P. Siva Reddy Eye Hospital, the answer to every one of these is yes.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Can glaucoma be cured?
Glaucoma is usually managed long-term, not cured. Consistent monitoring and treatment protect vision over decades.
Will I go blind?
Most people with glaucoma do not go blind when the condition is detected early and monitored properly. Regular follow-up is what keeps vision safe.
How often should I be tested?
Depends on your diagnosis and stability. We set a follow-up schedule and compare each visit to the last.
Do I need drops forever?
Many patients need long-term drops or other treatment. We use the least intervention that keeps pressure safe, and we review it at every visit.
Is the visual field test painful?
No. It requires attention and can feel tiring, but it is not painful.
What does glaucoma testing and monitoring cost?
It depends on which tests your case needs and how often you're monitored, which the surgeon decides after seeing your eyes. The clearest way to understand it is a consultation, where we explain your plan honestly. You're warmly welcome to visit us in Himayat Nagar; you can book a time on WhatsApp or by phone.
Drops or laser: which will I need?
Most glaucoma is controlled with drops. Some patients benefit from a laser procedure such as YAG peripheral iridotomy. We choose the least-invasive option that keeps your pressure safe and keep watching.
My father has glaucoma. Should I get tested?
Yes. Glaucoma can run in families, so first-degree relatives benefit from a baseline check even without symptoms. A simple eye-pressure and optic-nerve assessment gives you a starting point.
