Glaucoma is a serious eye condition that can cause permanent vision loss without early warning signs. Often called the silent thief of vision, glaucoma damages the optic nerve and progresses slowly if left untreated.
At Dr. Bhange Eye Clinic in Pune, we focus on early detection and effective glaucoma management to preserve your eyesight.
What Is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, usually due to increased intraocular pressure. Over time, this damage leads to gradual loss of peripheral vision and can result in complete blindness if untreated.
Glaucoma can affect people of all ages but is more common after the age of 40.
Why Glaucoma Is Dangerous
The most concerning aspect of glaucoma is that it often develops without noticeable symptoms in the early stages. Many patients become aware only after significant vision loss has occurred. Regular eye pressure tests and optic nerve examinations are essential for early diagnosis.
Common Symptoms of Glaucoma
1. Gradual Loss of Side Vision
Peripheral vision slowly reduces and may go unnoticed during the early stages.
2. Eye Pain or Headache
Certain types of glaucoma may cause eye discomfort or recurring headaches.
3. Halos Around Lights
Seeing rainbow-colored halos around lights can be an early warning sign.
4. Sudden Vision Loss (Acute Glaucoma)
Sudden and severe vision loss is a medical emergency and requires immediate treatment.
