Glaucoma is one of the most serious eye conditions and a leading cause of permanent blindness worldwide. Often called the “silent thief of sight,” it damages the optic nerve gradually and usually develops without any obvious warning signs in its early stages. Many people don’t realise they have glaucoma until significant vision loss has already occurred — and once lost, this vision cannot be restored. That’s why early diagnosis and timely treatment from an expert eye doctor in Chandigarh are so important.
At Baweja Multispeciality Hospital in Chandigarh, we provide complete glaucoma care under one roof. Our highly trained eye specialists in Chandigarh use the latest diagnostic tools to detect glaucoma early and offer advanced treatments such as medications, laser therapies, and Micro-Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS). With MIGS, patients benefit from safer, faster, and less invasive surgeries compared to traditional methods.
We are proud to be one of the first centres in the region to introduce Micro-Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS), a modern, painless, and quick-recovery procedure that has transformed glaucoma treatment. Under the leadership of Dr. Varun Baweja, the first surgeon in India certified for 4 internationally approved MIGS devices, our hospital has become a trusted name for advanced glaucoma solutions.
Glaucoma is a serious eye disease that damages the optic nerve, the part of the eye responsible for sending visual signals to the brain. When the optic nerve is damaged, vision becomes blurry or patchy and, if not treated on time, glaucoma can lead to permanent vision loss or blindness.
In most cases, glaucoma occurs when fluid inside the eye (called aqueous humor) doesn’t drain properly. This causes a build-up of pressure in the eye (intraocular pressure), which slowly damages the optic nerve. However, glaucoma can also occur in people with normal eye pressure, making regular check-ups with an experienced eye doctor in Chandigarh very important.
The challenge is that glaucoma often shows no symptoms in the early stages, which is why it is known as the “silent thief of sight.” By the time patients notice vision loss, significant damage has often already occurred.
At Baweja Multispeciality Hospital in Chandigarh, we understand that every case of glaucoma is different. That’s why our experienced eye doctors in Chandigarh take a personalized approach to treatment, combining advanced technology with years of expertise to protect your vision. Our hospital offers the full range of modern glaucoma treatments — from medications to minimally invasive surgeries — all under one roof.
Glaucoma slowly damages vision without showing early warning signs. At Baweja Multispeciality Hospital in Chandigarh, we offer one of the most modern treatments – Micro-Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) – to protect your eyesight. Unlike older surgeries that needed big cuts and longer recovery, MIGS is done through tiny openings in the eye, making it a safe, painless, and fast-healing procedure.
One of the latest advancements in MIGS is the iStent – the world’s smallest medical implant. Though tiny in size, it plays a powerful role in controlling glaucoma, which is one of the main causes of permanent blindness. The iStent helps fluid drain naturally from the eye, lowering pressure and protecting the optic nerve from further damage.
We are proud that at Baweja Multispeciality Hospital in Chandigarh, our patients have access to this world-class care. Our surgeon, Dr. Varun Baweja, is the first and only doctor in India certified to use 4 different MIGS devices - iStent Inject, OMNI, Hydrus, and Preserflo. So now patients can receive advanced glaucoma treatment right here in the city – without needing to travel abroad.
