Glaucoma screening and surgery help identify and treat elevated eye pressure and optic nerve damage early to preserve vision. Early detection through screening and timely surgical\/laser intervention when needed are key to managing glaucoma effectively.<\/p>

Glaucoma is a serious eye condition where elevated intraocular pressure can damage the optic nerve, leading to irreversible vision loss. At EyeWise Vision Clinic<\/a> in Singapore, our dedicated glaucoma specialist offers comprehensive glaucoma treatment. Whether you require conventional glaucoma surgery or advanced glaucoma laser surgery, our expert team tailors interventions to your unique needs.<\/p>

What is Glaucoma?<\/strong><\/h2>

Glaucoma is characterized by increased eye pressure, which can compromise the optic nerve through disrupted blood flow or direct mechanical damage. Often, early-stage glaucoma shows no noticeable symptoms, making regular screening essential. At our clinic, a skilled glaucoma doctor in Singapore evaluates risk factors, ensuring early detection and prompt treatment.<\/p>

Types of Glaucoma<\/strong><\/h2>

Understanding the different types of glaucoma is crucial for managing visual health. Here are the types you should be aware of:<\/p>
Type of <\/strong>Glaucoma<\/strong><\/td>Description<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Primary Open-angle<\/td>The most common type where the eye’s drainage system is open but not working properly, causing fluid build-up and pressure. This type often has no symptoms until significant vision loss occurs. Regular eye exams are crucial.<\/td><\/tr>
Primary Angle-closure<\/td>This type involves a sudden closure of the space between the iris and cornea, blocking fluid drainage and quickly raising eye pressure. It’s an emergency that can lead to rapid vision loss if not treated immediately.<\/td><\/tr>
Normal-tension<\/td>Here, the optic nerve gets damaged even though the eye pressure is normal. It might be linked to other health issues like poor blood circulation or systemic diseases.<\/td><\/tr>
Secondary Glaucoma<\/td>Caused by other health conditions or medications that increase eye pressure, leading to optic nerve damage. Conditions like eye injuries or diabetes are common causes. Treatment often focuses on the underlying cause.<\/td><\/tr>
Pigmentary Glaucoma<\/td>Occurs when tiny pigment particles from the iris block the eye\u2019s fluid drainage system, increasing eye pressure. It’s a form of open-angle glaucoma.<\/td><\/tr>
Exfoliative Glaucoma<\/td>Caused by flaky, dandruff-like material that clogs the eye’s drainage, raising pressure. This type requires regular monitoring and management to control pressure levels.<\/td><\/tr>
Neovascular Glaucoma<\/td>Abnormal blood vessels on the iris block fluid outflow, often associated with diabetes. This type is serious and needs prompt treatment to manage both the diabetes and eye pressure.<\/td><\/tr>
Uveitic Glaucoma<\/td>Results from inflammation in the eye, which can block fluid drainage and increase pressure. Treatment may include managing the inflammation and controlling pressure.<\/td><\/tr>
Congenital Glaucoma<\/td>A rare condition present at birth where the eye\u2019s drainage system hasn’t developed correctly, leading to increased pressure. Early diagnosis and treatment are vital to prevent vision loss.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>

Symptoms Of Glaucoma<\/strong><\/h2>

While early-stage glaucoma often shows no noticeable symptoms, it’s crucial to stay alert to subtle changes in your vision and see a doctor promptly. Here are some key symptoms to take notice of:<\/p>
