Best Glaucoma Care in Gurgaon
Glaucoma is a serious eye condition that damages the optic nerve due to increased pressure inside the eye. This happens when excess fluid builds up in the front of the eye, leading to gradual vision loss. If left untreated, glaucoma can cause permanent blindness, especially in older adults. Early detection and proper treatment are crucial to preserving vision.

What is Glaucoma Surgery?
Glaucoma surgery is a procedure aimed at lowering eye pressure to prevent further damage to the optic nerve. The surgery either improves the drainage of the aqueous humor (the fluid inside the eye) or reduces the amount of fluid produced. This helps to control intraocular pressure, which is a key factor in managing glaucoma and preserving vision.
At Dayal Eye Centre, we specialize in advanced glaucoma surgery techniques. Our expert surgeons use the latest technology and treatment methods to ensure the best results for managing glaucoma, helping to protect your vision effectively.

What Causes Glaucoma?
Open-Angle Glaucoma
- The most common type of glaucoma.
- The exact cause is unknown.
- Pressure increases slowly over time without noticeable symptoms.
- Damages the optic nerve, leading to blind spots.
- More likely in individuals with a family history of glaucoma.
Secondary Glaucoma
- Caused by another condition.
- It can be triggered by medications like corticosteroids.
- Eye diseases, such as uveitis, can cause it.
- Other health conditions, like diabetes, may increase the risk.
- Eye injuries can also lead to secondary glaucoma.
Closed-Angle Glaucoma
- Occurs when the drainage channels in the eye become suddenly blocked.
- Leads to a rapid increase in eye pressure.
- It can be triggered by medications, including dilating eye drops.
- It is considered an emergency and needs immediate attention.
- If you have had acute glaucoma in one eye, your second eye is at risk.
Congenital Glaucoma
- Present at birth and occurs in babies.
- Caused by abnormal eye development.
- Often runs in families.
Symptoms of Glaucoma
Open-Angle Glaucoma
- In the early stages, most people show no symptoms.
- Vision loss may not be noticeable until it is severe.
- The main symptom is the slow loss of side (peripheral) vision, known as tunnel vision.
- In advanced stages, glaucoma can lead to blindness.
Angle-Closure Glaucoma
- Symptoms typically appear when the child is a few months old.
- Cloudiness in the front of the eye.
- Enlargement of one or both eyes.
- Redness in the eye.
- Sensitivity to light.
- Excessive tearing.
Angle-Closure Glaucoma
- Symptoms may vary, either coming and going or steadily worsening.
- Sudden, severe pain in one eye.
- Decreased or cloudy vision, often described as "steamy" vision.
- Nausea and vomiting.
- Seeing rainbow-like halos around lights.
- Redness in the eye.
- The eye may feel swollen.
Angle-Closure Glaucoma
- Symptoms are usually related to the underlying condition causing the glaucoma.
- Symptoms may resemble either open-angle or angle-closure glaucoma, depending on the cause.
Types of Glaucoma
- Open-angle Glaucoma: The most common type. The drainage angle in the eye becomes less effective, leading to increased pressure and optic nerve damage over time.
- Angle-closure Glaucoma: Occurs when the iris blocks the drainage path of the eye, causing a sudden increase in eye pressure. It is a medical emergency that needs immediate care.
- Congenital Glaucoma: A rare condition present at birth. The eye’s drainage system doesn’t develop properly, causing high eye pressure, which can lead to vision loss if untreated.
- Secondary Glaucoma: This develops due to another condition, such as eye injury, cataracts, or diseases like diabetes or high blood pressure. The underlying issue causes increased pressure in the eye.

Our Expert Team
FEMTO LASER ASSISTED CATARACT SURGERY
At Dayal Eye Centre, we now offer Femto Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery, a new and safer technique for cataract surgery. The surgery involves a laser rather than a blade to create small, precise incisions in the eye, hence making them more precise and gentle. It begins with a machine that maps your eye in a special way. This information is used to direct the laser to cut in the right place and depth to help heal the eye quickly. These incisions heal on their own and decrease the chances of complications after the surgery.
How Are We Best for Glaucoma Treatment in Gurgaon?
- Checks eye pressure to determine if it is higher than normal.
- Examines the optic nerve for any signs of damage.
- Tests vision to detect any areas of vision loss.

- Eyedrops to reduce eye pressure
- Laser surgery to open blocked drainage tubes or reduce fluid production
- A procedure to enhance fluid drainage and reduce eye pressure.
Eye Drops

- Scatter Panretinal Photocoagulation: Treats abnormal blood vessels in the retina related to neovascular glaucoma.
Traditional Surgery
- Trabeculectomy
- Peripheral Iridectomy

At Dayal Eye Centre, we strongly encourage adults with a family history of glaucoma to get an eye exam to assess their risk for this condition. However, regular visits to a glaucoma optometrist are important for everyone to maintain eye health and protect vision.
If you are diagnosed with glaucoma, you may be an ideal candidate for treatment, which will depend on the type of glaucoma, its severity, and any other medical conditions. For those who don’t respond well to medications or other treatments, surgery may be recommended.

Does glaucoma lead to blindness?
Yes, glaucoma can lead to blindness if not diagnosed and treated early. It’s a leading cause of blindness for people over 60.
Is glaucoma hereditary?
Yes, family history is a significant risk factor for glaucoma, indicating a hereditary component.
What is open-angle glaucoma?
Open-angle glaucoma is the most common form, characterized by a gradual increase in eye pressure due to inefficient drainage of aqueous humor, leading to optic nerve damage.
Why is atropine contraindicated in glaucoma?
Atropine can dilate the pupil, potentially narrowing the drainage angle and increasing intraocular pressure, making it risky for individuals with certain types of glaucoma.
What are the first signs of glaucoma?
Open-angle glaucoma often has no early symptoms, but peripheral vision loss may occur over time. Acute angle-closure glaucoma can present suddenly with severe eye pain, blurred vision, halos around lights, and nausea.
