  • The silent condition - glaucoma often has no symptoms at all

Glaucoma

It's estimated 1 in 50 people will develop Glaucoma over the age of 40.

Glaucoma is a serious life changing disease that can threaten your vision and impact your daily life. It is the leading cause of blindness and if it goes undetected, it can cause permanent damage to your eyes.

Some people may have medical conditions and hereditary traits that can increase the chances of having glaucoma, this is a disease that can strike anybody so it’s important to get your eyes checked at least once a year and if you’re over the age of 40 then twice.

In recent years there have been advances in glaucoma detection, which means it can be treated earlier than ever and 95% of people who have glaucoma do not go blind.

For more information on glaucoma, please read our recent blog post: Glaucoma - an overview.

Glaucoma Symptoms

The main problem with chronic (the most common type of) Glaucoma is that there are no symptoms and it can go undetected, causing loss of vision - this is why screening is so important.

Acute glaucoma can be a medical emergency and you should seek immediate advice.

What are some of the symptoms of acute glaucoma?

  • Red eyes
  • Tunnel vision
  • Dizziness
  • Blurry vision
  • Halo-rings in the line of sight
  • A vision that progressively worsens – initially in the peripheral vision, later centrally
  • Pain on and around the eye
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Headaches

Glaucoma Treatment Options

While there are medical conditions and hereditary traits that can increase your chances of having glaucoma, this is a disease that can strike anybody.

Finding out you have glaucoma might come as a shock especially if you don’t have any typical characteristics like diabetes or previous history in the family. We provide ophthalmic support to ensure that the best treatment plan possible is in place. Our priority is to make sure you are comfortable as we recognise that eye surgery to treat glaucoma might seem invasive and daunting.

Our glaucoma surgery is conducted in our purpose-built London hospital, which is equipped with the most modern equipment on the market. We use small incisions and minimal stitches, meaning you will be back to using your eyes to their full potential as soon as possible.
