Glaucoma — the oft-silent damage to your optic nerve caused by elevated intraocular pressure — can lead to irreversible vision loss if left unchecked. At Vasan Eye Care, we specialise in offering advanced Glaucoma Surgery in Bangalore, delivering state-of-the-art surgical options, personalised treatment plans, and committed post-operative care.
Understanding Glaucoma & Why Surgery Matters
Glaucoma comprises a group of eye disorders where fluid drainage from the eye is impaired, leading to increased intraocular pressure (IOP) and subsequent optic nerve damage. While many cases begin with medications or laser therapy, surgery becomes necessary when such treatments fail to maintain safe eye pressure levels. The key point: Glaucoma surgery cannot reverse vision already lost, but it can help prevent further vision deterioration.
Surgical Options at Vasan Eye Care
At our Bangalore centre, we offer a spectrum of surgical treatments tailored to your glaucoma type and severity:
- Trabeculectomy – Often considered the “gold standard” surgery, it creates a new drainage pathway for aqueous fluid.
- Glaucoma Drainage Tube / Shunt Implantation – For complex or refractory cases when traditional surgery might not suffice.
- Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) – Lower risk, quicker recovery procedures for suitable cases.
- Laser-assisted procedures may also complement surgical options to improve drainage or reduce fluid production.
Why Choose Vasan Eye Care for Glaucoma Surgery in Bangalore?
- Our dedicated glaucoma team uses advanced diagnostics (OCT, gonioscopy, perimetry) to map the damage and plan the right surgery.
- We maintain a full continuum of care: from initial evaluation, surgical intervention, through to long-term follow-up — crucial in glaucoma management.
- We understand local context: high prevalence of diabetes and ocular hypertension in Bangalore means vigilant screening and prompt surgical referrals.
- Transparent, patient-centred counselling to help you understand risks, benefits and realistic outcomes of Glaucoma Surgery.
What to Expect: Recovery & Follow-Up
After surgery for glaucoma:
- Expect some temporary blurring, redness or foreign-body sensation — common and resolve gradually.
- You’ll need close monitoring: eye pressure checks, possible adjustment of medications, lifestyle modifications (avoiding heavy lifting, bending).
- Remember: Surgery stabilises vision but doesn’t restore what’s lost. The goal is to preserve remaining vision and protect the optic nerve.
