Glaucoma Treatment at Eye Clinic DRHC Dubai

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that can damage the optic nerve and cause permanent vision loss if left untreated. It is often associated with increased eye pressure, although some forms, such as normal tension glaucoma, can occur even when eye pressure is within the normal range.

Glaucoma may not cause noticeable symptoms in its early stages. As the condition progresses, you may experience blurred vision, loss of peripheral vision, eye pain, redness, headaches, or halos around lights, depending on the type of glaucoma. Regular eye examinations are important because early glaucoma can be difficult to detect without specialized testing.

A comprehensive glaucoma assessment may include measuring intraocular pressure, examining the optic nerve and optic disc, visual field testing, and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to assess the retinal nerve fibre layer. At Dr. Rami Hamed Center (DRHC) in Dubai, these investigations are available to help diagnose and monitor glaucoma.

Glaucoma-related optic nerve damage and vision loss are generally irreversible. However, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can help slow or prevent further vision loss. Treatment may include prescription eye drops, laser treatment, surgery, or a combination of these approaches, depending on the type and severity of glaucoma.

At Dr. Rami Hamed Center (DRHC), glaucoma treatment is tailored to each patient's condition. Depending on your diagnosis, treatment may include eye drops, laser trabeculoplasty, trabeculectomy, tube shunt surgery, or other appropriate interventions. Your ophthalmologist will recommend the most suitable option based on your eye pressure, optic nerve health, and visual field results.

You can receive comprehensive glaucoma assessment and treatment at the Ophthalmology Clinic at Dr. Rami Hamed Center (DRHC) in Dubai. The clinic provides glaucoma investigations and treatment options, with locations including Dubai Healthcare City and Majan, Dubai.
