Glaucoma Highlights

From Diagnosis To Treatment.

What is Glaucoma?

Optic Nerve Damage And Vision Loss

Grüner Star Untersuchung der Augen durch Ivana Pavlovic

Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that gradually impairs vision. It is often
caused by increased eye pressure,
which can damage the optic nerve. If left
untreated, glaucoma can lead to a progressively smaller field of vision.
Early diagnosis is crucial to slow the progression of the disease.

Advanced Glaucoma Diagnostics for
Your Eyes. We perform a 3D scan of your optic
nerve,
allowing us to detect early damage
—often even before you notice symptoms.

In addition to scanning with micrometer
precision,
we measure corneal thickness,
assess your visual field, and, of course,
determine your eye pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Glaucoma

Glaucoma is an eye disease that can lead to gradual vision loss, often caused by increased eye pressure or other factors. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent progression and preserve eyesight.

2. I have no symptoms. Should I still get screened?

Yes, because glaucoma often develops without noticeable symptoms in the early stages. Regular eye exams are essential to detect the disease early, as untreated glaucoma can cause irreversible damage to the optic nerve. Our clinic offers comprehensive screenings to protect your long-term eye health.

Glaucoma is detected through a thorough eye examination, including intraocular pressure measurement, optic nerve assessment, and imaging tests such as optical coherence tomography (OCT). We use state-of-the-art technology to ensure precise and early diagnosis.

Treatment depends on the stage of the disease. In most cases, medicated eye drops are used to lower intraocular pressure. In more advanced cases, laser treatments or surgical procedures may be necessary. Our clinic provides a full range of treatment options tailored to your individual needs.

Regular screenings are recommended starting at age 40, especially if you have risk factors such as a family history of glaucoma, diabetes, or high blood pressure. We offer personalized glaucoma screening programs to assess and protect your eye health.

Glaucoma cannot be cured, but with proper treatment, its progression can be slowed or halted. The earlier it is detected, the better the chances of preserving your vision. Regular check-ups are key to early detection and effective management.

Your risk increases with age and is higher if you have a family history of glaucoma, diabetes, or high blood pressure. If you belong to a high-risk group, regular eye exams are strongly recommended. Our clinic provides individualized screening programs to help safeguard your vision.
