A glaucoma diagnosis can feel overwhelming, but at London Ophthalmology Centre (LondonOC), patients are guided through a structured, consultant-led care pathway from diagnosis to advanced treatment. With the expertise of Mr. Vik Sharma, patients receive personalised management plans that address their specific condition, treatment goals, and lifestyle.
The journey begins with comprehensive diagnostics, including OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) scans, visual field testing, corneal thickness measurement, and optic nerve imaging. These tests provide a clear picture of eye health and glaucoma progression, allowing the consultant to make informed treatment recommendations.
Following assessment, patients may be offered a range of interventions, depending on disease stage and response to medication. Options include minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), laser procedures such as SLT or ALT, and advanced drainage implants like the Preserflo Microshunt or XEN Gel Stent. Each treatment is selected to optimise long-term pressure control and minimise risk.
Throughout the process, LondonOC emphasises personalised patient care. Appointments are consultant-led, and patients receive ongoing monitoring to track IOP changes and treatment effectiveness. Education is a key component, helping patients understand their condition, the benefits of each intervention, and steps to protect their vision.
The consultant-led approach ensures consistent, expert care, enabling early intervention and reducing the risk of vision loss. Patients benefit not only from advanced technology but also from the reassurance of having a specialist oversee every stage of treatment.
Choosing LondonOC means accessing innovative treatments, world-class diagnostics, and compassionate guidance, creating a pathway for successful long-term glaucoma management and preserved vision.
