Understanding Glaucoma: Early Detection and Prevention with Dr. Sonika Porwal

"In this informative video, Dr. Sonika Porwal from Dr. Agarwals Eye Hospital explains the importance of understanding and detecting glaucoma, often referred to as the silent thief of sight. Glaucoma causes irreversible vision loss by damaging the optic nerve, often without noticeable symptoms until significant vision loss has occurred.
Dr. Porwal discusses the role of intraocular pressure, the function of aqueous humor, and the risk factors associated with glaucoma, including age, family history, steroid use, trauma, diabetes, hypertension, and myopia. She emphasizes the need for early detection and regular check-ups to manage and control this condition through drops, lasers, or surgeries.
Learn about the diagnostic tests such as pachymetry, perimetry, and OCT, which help in assessing the condition of the optic nerve and visual field. Dr. Porwal also outlines the recommended follow-up schedule for those diagnosed with glaucoma to ensure the disease is kept under control.
If you have any risk factors for glaucoma, don't delay-schedule an appointment with your nearest ophthalmologist to get evaluated and protect your vision.
