Frequently Asked Questions

Can glaucoma be cured?

There is no permanent cure, but early diagnosis and consistent treatment can stop or slow further vision loss. Many patients maintain navigable vision with lifelong care.

No. It’s performed under topical or local anesthesia, is painless, and usually takes less than 20 minutes.

Some may cause mild redness or irritation initially. Always inform your doctor if side effects persist — alternatives are often available.

The following is an approximate routine screening guideline. If there is a problem, then the eye doctor will guide you about the scheduled follow-up visit/s.
Children should have their eyes tested at birth; this is generally done by the attending Paediatrician.

Thereafter, another check between 6-12 months and again before starting school. One should not wait if there are any concerns related to the child’s vision.

Adults above 40 should have an eye examination every 12-24 months, even if they have no symptoms. If you have diabetes, hypertension, or a family history of glaucoma, more frequent check-ups are recommended.

A balanced diet rich in leafy greens, dark fruits and vegetables (e.g red cabbage, red grapes, papaya etc) omega-3 and 6, and vitamins A, C, and E supports eye health. Regular aerobic exercise also helps regulate eye pressure and overall circulation.
