Best Glaucoma specialist in Kirti Nagar; Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases in which the Optic Nerve (the bundle of nerve fibers that carries information from the eye to the brain) gets damaged and can lead to vision loss or blindness. It is also known as “Kala Motia”. Optic nerve damage usually occurs in the presence of high eye pressure (high intraocular pressure); but it can also occur with normal or even less than normal eye pressure. Damage due to glaucoma may be more severe in those patients who have associated diabetes, widely fluctuating blood pressure and myopia. Glaucoma in kirti nagar is also called “the silent thief of vision”, as at first it may not have any symptoms. The first time you notice something is wrong is when significant vision is lost. In older adults, cataract(“Safed Motia”) usually starts developing at the same age as glaucoma in kirti nagar makes an appearance. You may think that you are losing vision due to a cataract when it may actually be due to glaucoma! This is why we advise routine eye check-ups for glaucoma after you turn 40. In the younger population, there are either no symptoms or the onset of symptoms is so slow that it goes unnoticed till there is significant peripheral vision loss.
