Glaucoma Treatment
Glaucoma Treatment at YNB Health Care
Effective and Comprehensive Glaucoma Management
Glaucoma is a progressive eye condition that damages the optic nerve, often due to increased pressure within the eye. It can lead to gradual vision loss or even blindness if left untreated. At YNB Health Care, we offer comprehensive solutions to diagnose, treat, and manage glaucoma effectively. Our skilled ophthalmologists use advanced diagnostic tools and treatments tailored to each patient's needs, ensuring the best possible outcomes.
Types of Treatments for Glaucoma
- Non-Surgical Treatments
- Medications: Eye drops and oral medications are the first line of treatment for many types of glaucoma. These reduce eye pressure by decreasing fluid production or increasing its drainage.
- Laser Therapy: Procedures such as laser trabeculoplasty and laser peripheral iridotomy are minimally invasive options to enhance fluid drainage and reduce intraocular pressure.
- Surgical Treatments
- Trabeculectomy: A surgical procedure to create a new drainage pathway for fluid, reducing intraocular pressure and preventing optic nerve damage.
- Glaucoma Implant Surgery: Involves placing a small device in the eye to provide an alternate pathway for fluid drainage.
- Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS): Innovative techniques like trabectome and ABiC use micro-incisions and advanced technology for faster recovery and reduced complications.
- Cyclophotocoagulation (CPC): A laser procedure that decreases fluid production and eye pressure.
At YNB Health Care, we carefully evaluate the type and stage of glaucoma to recommend the most appropriate treatment.
