Glaucoma Detection and Management

Early Detection and Care leads to vision preservation for Glaucoma patients

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that can damage the optic nerve and lead to irreversible vision loss. It often associated with increased eye pressure and is commonly inherited. It can develop slowly without noticeable symptoms, so regular eye examinations as well as early detection are important. At Provision Eye Care, highly trained glaucoma specialists provide screening, diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment based on each patient's condition.

Conditions we diagnose and treat

Glaucoma comes in several forms, some slow and silent, others sudden and urgent. These are the conditions our glaucoma specialists diagnose and treat most often.

MOST COMMON

Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma

A common type of inherited glaucoma that develops gradually and may cause undetected vision loss over time.

Time-sensitive

Angle-Closure Glaucoma

Occurs when the drainage angle of the eye becomes blocked and may require urgent treatment. This type of Glaucoma is common to the Asian population.

NEEDS MONITORING

Ocular Hypertension

Higher-than-normal eye pressure without definite signs of glaucoma. May require regular monitoring over time.

MEDICAL-RELATED

Secondary Glaucoma

Glaucoma caused by another eye condition, medication, injury, or medical condition. Most common causes: Diabetes, Steroid use and eye trauma.

CHILDREN

Pediatric/ Developmental Glaucoma

Glaucoma that develops at a younger age. It carries a higher risk of blindness because of longer life expectancy.

    We also manage:
  • Glaucoma suspects
  • Acute eye pressure spikes
  • Steroid-induced glaucoma
  • Diabetes-related glaucoma
  • Glaucoma after eye injury
  • Juvenile glaucoma
