Best Glaucoma Treatment in Haryana
Glaucoma often progresses silently, without pain or noticeable signs, but can slowly damage vision and potentially lead to blindness. People may experience problems like blurred vision, diminished side vision, and difficulty adapting to darkness. If these changes are ignored, common activities like reading, driving, or walking safely become more difficult. Timely medical attention is essential, as vision lost due to glaucoma cannot be regained. Prompt intervention can prevent or slow further damage.

What is Glaucoma Surgery?
Glaucoma surgery usually helps treat open-angle glaucoma. This procedure is performed in a hospital and takes under an hour. Our doctor creates a small incision beneath the eyelid to allow fluid drainage, helping to safeguard the optic nerve from harm. Typically, individuals stay conscious during the operation with the aid of anesthetics and calming drugs and are usually released shortly afterward.
At Dayal Eye Centre, glaucoma surgery is performed with precision and care to guarantee patient comfort and safety. You will need someone to drive you home after the procedure is over, and follow-up care is usually simple.
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.
What Causes Glaucoma?
Open-Angle Glaucoma
- Most common type
- The exact cause is unknown
- Fluid drains too slowly, increasing pressure gradually.
- Often runs in families.
Angle-Closure (Closed-Angle Glaucoma)
- Caused by a sudden blockage of fluid drainage.
- Can be triggered by dilating eye drops or certain medications.
- Causes a rapid and intense increase in eye pressure.
- Considered a medical emergency.
- If it happens in one eye, the other is at risk, too.
Secondary Glaucoma
Caused by known conditions or factors such as
- Corticosteroid use
- Eye injuries
- Diabetes
- Inflammatory eye disease (e.g., uveitis)
- It may occur with either open or blocked fluid pathways.
Congenital Glaucoma
- Present from birth as a result of abnormal eye development.
- Often inherited.
- Often identified in infancy, typically within the first months.
Glaucoma advances quietly, so routine eye exams are vital. Schedule your detailed eye checkup at Dayal Eye Centre today to start safeguarding your vision!
Symptoms of Glaucoma
- MIGS (Micro Invasive Glaucoma Surgery) – A low-risk surgical option for early to mid-stage glaucoma involving techniques like tiny drainage implants, gentle lasers, and fluid pathway enhancements.
- Laser Treatments – Done in-office with short recovery. Includes SLT, ALT, LPI, and laser cyclophotocoagulation. May need repeating or follow-up treatments.
- Trabeculectomy – For advanced glaucoma. A tiny section of the eye’s outer layer is taken out to help fluid drain more efficiently. Usually done as an outpatient procedure.
- Implant Surgery – Involves placing drainage tubes. Used for advanced cases, congenital glaucoma, or injury-related glaucoma.

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 Haryana?
Before undergoing Glaucoma surgery, we conduct a series of diagnostic tests to guarantee the best treatment:
- Eye Pressure Test (Tonometry): Assesses eye pressure with a tonometer or air puff method.
- Gonioscopy: Assess the drainage angle between the iris and cornea to know the type of glaucoma.
- Visual Field Test: Detects vision loss, particularly in peripheral vision, which is commonly affected by glaucoma.
- Optic Nerve Assessment: A thorough examination of the optic nerve, such as using a slit lamp or OCT scan, is performed to assess its health.
These tests assist in deciding whether surgery is necessary and identifying the best treatment method. Confused if you need glaucoma surgery? Get in touch with Dayal Eye Centre to schedule your consultation today!
Anesthesia
We use local anesthesia to numb the area, ensuring you remain comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure.
Positioning and Incisions
We position a traction suture to secure your eye and then make a small incision at the limbus for improved access to the sclera.
Wound Preparation
In order to avoid scarring and allow for improved drainage of fluid, we treat the surgical site with mitomycin C or 5-FU.
Creating the Drainage Pathway
We make a partial-thickness scleral flap and a paracentesis to facilitate maintaining the eye structure while enhancing fluid flow.
Iris Removal and Flap Closure
A small portion of the iris is removed to improve fluid drainage, and the scleral flap is sutured, allowing for adjustments to control intraocular pressure.
Final Steps and Aftercare
We close the conjunctiva with sutures and give antibiotic and steroid injections to reduce inflammation and prevent infection.
- Apply the prescribed eye drops to reduce infection and inflammation.
- Adhere to our doctor’s checkup schedule and follow all post-operative care.
- Recovery time depends on the person and procedure, but most notice improvement during recovery.
- Avoid heavy lifting, dust or irritant environments, and strenuous activity during recovery.
- Notify our doctor if you notice severe discomfort, blurred vision, or signs of infection for immediate attention.
- Arrange for transportation, as you will likely be given sedatives or anesthesia, which makes driving risky after surgery.
- Arrange for someone close to you to drive you home, as the sedatives could impact your ability to do so safely.
- Adhere to the instructions for medications by our doctor prior to surgery, such as discontinuing blood-thinning medicines or applying prescribed eye drops.
- Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes that will make the experience stress-free.
- Avoid makeup, perfume, or lotion near the eye area on surgery day.
- Follow these steps for a smooth experience.

If there is a history of glaucoma in your family, it is important to arrange an eye checkup to evaluate your potential risk. Still, everyone must see a glaucoma optometrist for eye and vision health.
Once glaucoma is diagnosed, the treatment plan will depend on the type and stage of the condition, as well as any other health factors that may affect available treatment options. If you are unsure about your eligibility for treatment, our specialists at Dayal Eye Centre can help you find out your personal circumstances during an initial consultation.
