glaucoma screening management

Glaucoma is a silent, progressive eye condition that can cause irreversible vision loss if not detected early. With over 21 years of ophthalmic experience, Dr. Nusrat Bukhari provides comprehensive screening and effective management to protect vision and prevent long-term damage. 1. Intraocular Pressure (IOP) Testing Routine and precise measurement of eye pressure using advanced techniques to identify early abnormalities. 2. Optic Nerve Evaluation Detailed assessment of the optic nerve head to detect structural changes associated with glaucoma. 3. Visual Field Testing Screening for peripheral vision loss—a key indicator of glaucoma progression. 4. Gonioscopy (Angle Assessment) Evaluation of the drainage angle of the eye to differentiate between open-angle and angle-closure glaucoma. 5. Glaucoma Risk Assessment Analysis of individual risk factors such as age, family history, diabetes, high myopia, and elevated eye pressure. 6. Medical Management Prescription of anti-glaucoma eye drops to lower intraocular pressure and slow disease progression. 7. Follow-up & Monitoring Regular check-ups to monitor optic nerve health, eye pressure, and visual fields for early detection of any changes. 8. Referral for Advanced Treatment (If Needed) In cases requiring laser procedures or surgery, Dr. Nusrat ensures timely referral and coordinated care with glaucoma specialists. Early detection is the key to preventing glaucoma-related vision loss. Dr. Nusrat’s thorough screening methods and personalized management plans help safeguard your eyesight with precision and care.
