Glaucoma: Causes, Symptoms & Advanced Treatments | Dada Laser Eye Institute

Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness, but early detection and treatment can preserve vision. At Dada Laser Eye Institute, Pune, Dr. Jeevan Ladi offers advanced glaucoma care using the latest technology and personalized treatment plans.

What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, often due to increased intraocular pressure. Many patients are unaware of their condition because it progresses silently, making regular eye check-ups essential.

Types of Glaucoma

  • Open-Angle Glaucoma: Gradual, painless vision loss; most common type.
  • Angle-Closure Glaucoma: Sudden eye pain, blurred vision, headache; an emergency condition.
  • Normal-Tension Glaucoma: Optic nerve damage occurs despite normal eye pressure.
  • Secondary Glaucoma: Caused by other eye conditions, injuries, or medications.

Symptoms to Watch For

  • Loss of peripheral vision
  • Blurred vision or halos around lights
  • Eye pain or redness
  • Headaches or nausea (acute cases)

Tip: Regular screenings are the best way to catch glaucoma before symptoms appear.

Causes and Risk Factors

  • Family history of glaucoma
  • Age above 40 years
  • High eye pressure (intraocular pressure)
  • Diabetes or hypertension
  • Eye injuries or prolonged steroid use

Dr. Jeevan Ladi emphasizes a personalized risk assessment for all patients.

Early detection ensures better treatment outcomes.
