Glaucoma Workup in Bhavnagar – Early Detection to Prevent Vision Loss

Glaucoma is often called the “silent thief of sight” as it
gradually damages the optic nerve without noticeable early symptoms. Vision loss caused by
glaucoma is irreversible, but early detection and timely treatment can prevent
further damage.

At Shree Ram Netralaya, we offer a
comprehensive glaucoma workup in Bhavnagar to accurately diagnose, assess risk,
and monitor disease progression.

What Does a Glaucoma Workup Include?

• Detailed eye examination and optic nerve evaluation
• Eye pressure measurement (Intraocular Pressure – IOP)
• Perimetry (Visual Field Test) to detect early vision loss
• OCT scan for optic nerve and nerve fiber layer analysis
• Gonioscopy to assess the eye drainage angle
• Corneal thickness measurement (Pachymetry)
• Fundus photography for documentation and follow-up

Who Should Get a Glaucoma Evaluation?

• Individuals above 40 years of age
• People with a family history of glaucoma
• Patients with diabetes or high blood pressure
• Long-term steroid users (eye drops, inhalers, or tablets)
• High eye pressure or suspicious optic nerve findings
• History of eye injury or previous eye surgery
• Symptoms like headache, eye pain, or halos around lights

Why Glaucoma Workup is Important

Glaucoma-related vision loss cannot be reversed, but its progression can be controlled
with early diagnosis, regular monitoring, and proper treatment.
Timely glaucoma screening helps protect your vision for the long term.
