Glaucoma Care in Thane
Assessment, treatment discussions and ongoing monitoring to help protect your vision.
Understanding glaucoma and changes in vision
Glaucoma care in Thane at Dr. Gadgil Eye Hospital begins with assessment of eye pressure and optic-nerve health, followed by an individual monitoring plan. Request a glaucoma consultation and bring your previous reports so the doctor can compare findings over time.
Glaucoma damages the optic nerve. It can progress without obvious early symptoms, and established vision loss is generally irreversible. Treatment aims to reduce further damage; regular follow-up matters even when the eyes feel comfortable.
Your consultation
Pressure and nerve checks
Eye pressure is one part of the assessment. The doctor also considers optic-nerve health and other findings.
Your history
Mention glaucoma in the family, previous eye surgery and all eye drops or other medicines.
Long-term follow-up
Bring previous visual-field tests and scans so changes over time can be assessed.
Glaucoma tests and planning your follow-up
Why glaucoma type matters
Glaucoma includes open-angle, angle-closure and other forms. Some people develop damage even when pressure is within the usual range. Your doctor considers the type of glaucoma, existing damage and other findings when discussing a target pressure and treatment.
What do the checks tell you?
Pressure measurement is only one part of the examination. The optic nerve is assessed for damage, while visual-field testing checks for missing areas of vision, including side vision. Comparing results across visits helps the doctor decide whether the condition is stable or treatment needs adjustment.
Questions to ask about glaucoma treatment
- What is my diagnosis and target pressure?
- How should I use each prescribed drop, and what should I do if it causes problems?
- When should I return, and which tests need repeating?
- If laser or surgery is proposed, what are its benefits, risks and follow-up requirements?
Read the National Eye Institute guide to glaucoma. Confirm procedure availability and any referral arrangements with our team. For estimates and approval questions, see cashless and insurance assistance.
Bring your previous glaucoma records
Depending on your examination, the doctor may recommend pressure measurement, optic-nerve assessment, visual-field testing, corneal thickness measurement, drainage-angle examination or OCT imaging. A single pressure reading does not establish or exclude glaucoma.
Treatment and ongoing care
Treatment may involve prescribed eye drops, laser treatment or surgery. The choice depends on the type and severity of glaucoma and the target pressure. Discuss possible side effects and practical difficulties using drops. Do not stop prescribed treatment without speaking to your doctor.
When to seek prompt help
Sudden severe eye pain with blurred vision, a red eye, headache or nausea may be an emergency. Seek urgent medical care.
What our patients say
Questions patients ask
Can lost vision be restored?
Glaucoma treatment is intended to protect remaining vision rather than reverse established nerve damage.
Do I still need reviews after treatment?
Yes. Monitoring remains important after drops, laser or surgery; the doctor will advise the interval.
