Glaucoma "Kala Motia" is a group of eye conditions that damages the optic nerve, crucial for vision, due to increased pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure). Glaucome is the leading cause of irreversible blindness, often called the "silent thief of sight" as it typically starts with gradual peripheral vision loss which often remains unnoticed, making early detection through regular eye exams vital for preventing severe vision loss or blindness.

Why Glaucoma Requires Continuous Screening & Management?
 

Glaucoma cannot be cured only controlled. Appropriate treatment and regular follow up can preserve the available vision from further loss due to damage of the Optic nerve. Early detection and treatment of glaucoma before it causes significant vision loss is the ideal way to control the disease.

 

Anyone who is above the age of 40 should get examined periodically for glaucoma. Glaucoma is not an infectious disease but may be hereditary. So, if anyone in the family has glaucoma it is advisable. Periodic eye check-up is mandatory for someone who has been diagnosed with glaucoma.
