Glaucoma or Eye Pressure

Intraocular pressure increases the fluid in the eye to nourish the tissues due to a blockage in the ducts.

Glaucoma or eye pressure is caused by visual impairment due to damage to the visual nerves due to high pressure in the eye.

Eye Pressure Treatment

Eye pressure treatment is applied in three different ways. These are drugs, surgical treatments and laser treatments.

Medical Treatment

The patient is usually given medication drops.
The patient should use this drop according to the doctor’s instructions without disturbing the patient.
If the treatment is not sufficient, other methods are applied.

Laser Treatment

This treatment, which is performed under local anesthesia, is applied to patients who do not respond to drugs and do not have high blood pressure. The effect of laser treatment is 2-3 years.

Surgical Treatment

If drug therapy and laser therapy do not respond, if damage to the ocular nerves increases, surgical treatment is applied. The operation performed by local anesthesia does not bring back dead nerve cells and no longer damages the cells.
