Raised Eye pressure can damage the optic nerve. This is the main nerve of the eye which is responsible for normal sight. Glaucoma is a condition where eye pressure rises without the patient realizing it .It is important to therefore have regular eye check ups after the age of 40 yrs so the eye Dr is able to assess the total eye health.
Rushabh Eye Hospital has the latest diagnostic technique called SWAP Perimetry to check glaucoma. There is a Glaucoma diagnostic package which includes all check up’s related to Glaucoma. Glaucoma can be managed by eye drops, laser and surgery. This is decided by the treating surgeon based on the eye condition.

The timing of the surgery is especially important in children, who may develop lazy eyes (an eye which loses vision slowly and steadily if not treated at a proper time).Timely intervention not only restores normal vision but also gives a satisfactory cosmetic outcome.

LASIK


Laser Assisted Stromal In-situ Keratomileusis [LASIK] is a method of re-shaping the external surface of the eye [the cornea] to correct low, moderate and high degrees of nearsightedness, astigmatism and far-sightedness. During the treatment, an instrument called the microkeratome creates a corneal flap to make it a painless procedure. The computerized Excimer laser then uses a cool beam of light to gently reshape the cornea so as to alter its curvature to the desired extent. The flap when replaced on the new corneal curvature allows images to be sharply focused on the retina. The goal is to eliminate or greatly reduce the dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
