BMH Chandigarh offers glaucoma screening, eye pressure evaluation, optic nerve assessment and treatment planning for patients in Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula, Zirakpur, Kharar and the Tricity Area.
Quick Answer
A glaucoma specialist checks eye pressure, optic nerve health, visual field loss and drainage angle. Treatment may include eye drops, laser, monitoring, cataract-related planning or MIGS glaucoma surgery for suitable patients.
Why Glaucoma Needs Early Care
Glaucoma can damage the optic nerve permanently. Many patients do not feel pain and may not notice vision loss until the disease is advanced. Early diagnosis helps preserve remaining vision and reduce the risk of irreversible field loss.
Risk Checklist
You should book a glaucoma checkup if you have:
- Family history of glaucoma
- High eye pressure
- Age above 40
- Diabetes or high blood pressure
- High myopia
- Long-term steroid use
- Previous eye injury
- Frequent headaches with halos or blurred vision
Tests Used For Glaucoma Diagnosis
Glaucoma diagnosis is not based on one pressure reading alone. BMH may advise intraocular pressure measurement, optic nerve examination, OCT retinal nerve fibre layer scan, visual field test, gonioscopy, corneal thickness measurement and retina evaluation.
These tests help decide whether a patient has glaucoma, glaucoma suspect status, ocular hypertension or another eye condition.
Treatment Pathway
Treatment is personalized. Some patients need regular monitoring. Others need pressure-lowering eye drops, laser treatment or surgery. BMH's ophthalmology services highlight MIGS, or minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, for selected patients where micro-incision pressure control may be appropriate.
The goal is simple: lower pressure to a safer level and prevent future damage.

FAQs

Glaucoma damage cannot usually be reversed, but treatment can slow or stop further vision loss.
2. Is high eye pressure always glaucoma?
No. Some people have high pressure without nerve damage, but they still need monitoring.
3. What are early glaucoma symptoms?
Open-angle glaucoma often has no early symptoms. Screening is important for high-risk patients.
4. What is MIGS?
MIGS means minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, used in selected patients to improve fluid drainage and lower pressure.
