What is Glaucoma Treatment?

Glaucoma treatment is designed to lower pressure inside the eye and help prevent further damage to the optic nerve. Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that can lead to gradual and permanent vision loss if left untreated. Because symptoms often develop slowly, many people are unaware they have glaucoma until their vision has already been affected.

Treatment aims to control intraocular pressure and preserve your remaining vision. Depending on the type and severity of glaucoma, treatment may include prescription eye drops, laser therapy, or surgery. Early diagnosis and ongoing management are essential for protecting long-term eye health.

At Battersea Hospital, our experienced ophthalmologists provide comprehensive glaucoma assessments and personalised treatment plans using the latest diagnostic technology and evidence-based therapies.

Appointments and Consultations

What is glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a condition that damages the optic nerve, usually due to increased pressure inside the eye. Without treatment, it can lead to permanent vision loss.

There is currently no cure for glaucoma, but early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can usually slow or prevent further vision loss.

Treatment may include prescription eye drops, laser procedures, or surgery, depending on the type and severity of glaucoma. Your ophthalmologist will recommend the most appropriate option for you.

Regular monitoring is essential for managing glaucoma. The frequency of your appointments will depend on your condition and how well your eye pressure is controlled.
