Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness worldwide, often progressing without noticeable symptoms until significant vision loss occurs. At London Ophthalmology Centre (LondonOC), we specialise in advanced glaucoma care, offering personalised treatment plans tailored to each patient's needs.

1. Medicated Eye Drops

The first line of defense against glaucoma involves prescription eye drops that reduce intraocular pressure (IOP). These medications either decrease the production of fluid within the eye or increase its outflow. Our specialists work closely with patients to find the most effective medication with minimal side effects.

2. Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT)

SLT is a non-invasive laser treatment aimed at improving fluid drainage from the eye. This procedure is particularly effective for open-angle glaucoma and is often used when eye drops are insufficient. The treatment is painless, requires no incisions, and typically allows patients to resume normal activities shortly after.

3. Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS)

MIGS procedures are designed to lower IOP with less risk and quicker recovery times than traditional surgery. At LondonOC, we offer various MIGS options, including the Hydrus Microstent, which creates a new drainage pathway to reduce pressure. These techniques are ideal for patients seeking effective treatment with minimal disruption to their daily lives.

4. Traditional Glaucoma Surgery

For cases where other treatments have not been effective, traditional surgical options like trabeculectomy may be considered. This procedure creates a new drainage channel to reduce IOP. While more invasive, it remains a valuable option for certain patients.
