Everything you need to understand glaucoma treatment before you decide — what it is, who it suits, what to expect, and how to compare verified hospital prices and insurance across India.
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, usually due to high intraocular pressure. It's called the 'silent thief of sight' because vision loss is gradual and irreversible.
Early detection and treatment can prevent further vision loss. Treatment options include eye drops, laser therapy, and surgery depending on the type and severity of glaucoma.
