Glaucoma treatment
Drops, laser or surgery to lower the pressure inside the eye and protect sight from glaucoma.
Pending doctor checkWhat it is
Glaucoma slowly damages the nerve at the back of the eye, usually because the pressure inside the eye is too high. Treatment lowers the pressure: first with eye drops, then with laser, and if needed with surgery that makes a new drainage path for the fluid in the eye.
Who needs it
People diagnosed with glaucoma, or with high eye pressure that puts their sight at risk.
- Typical hospital stay
- No hospital stay for laser; a day procedure or one night for surgery. Your hospital confirms it for your case.
- Recovery time
- Laser needs only a short rest. After surgery, plan to stay in India for about 2 weeks for checks.

Questions about this treatment
Can glaucoma damage be reversed?
No. Sight already lost cannot be brought back, which is why treatment aims to protect the sight that remains.
