Glaucoma
What Is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that cause progressive damage to the optic nerve — the vital connection between your eye and brain. This damage is often linked to a build-up of pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure). If left untreated, glaucoma can lead to irreversible vision loss and even blindness.
Our experienced ophthalmologists specialise in the early detection, monitoring, and treatment of glaucoma. Using cutting-edge diagnostic imaging and advanced laser and surgical technology, we provide personalised care to preserve your vision and protect your eye health.

Symptoms of Glaucoma
-
Glaucoma is often called “the silent thief of sight” because it can progress without noticeable symptoms. Many patients only notice changes once significant vision loss has occurred.
Common warning signs include:
-
Gradual loss of peripheral (side) vision
-
Blurred or patchy vision
-
Eye pain or pressure (in some types)
-
Seeing halos around lights
-
Sudden loss of vision (in acute glaucoma)
If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s essential to book a comprehensive eye examination immediately.

Our Glaucoma Treatment Options
1. Medication
Prescription eye drops are often the first step in lowering eye pressure and protecting the optic nerve.
2. Laser Treatment
At Solasta Healthcare, we offer Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) and Laser Peripheral Iridotomy (LPI) — both effective outpatient procedures designed to improve fluid drainage and control eye pressure.
3. Glaucoma Surgery
For more advanced cases, we perform Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) or traditional filtration surgery (trabeculectomy), depending on your needs. Our focus is always on safe, long-term pressure control and vision preservation.
