Glaucoma Services

Protect your vision with expert glaucoma care at Wellbeing Eye Centre. Glaucoma is a serious eye condition that can cause permanent vision loss if not detected and managed early. Known as the “silent thief of sight,” it often develops without noticeable symptoms in its early stages.

What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a condition where increased pressure inside the eye damages the optic nerve, which is essential for vision. If left untreated, it can lead to gradual and irreversible blindness.

Common Symptoms of Glaucoma

In early stages, glaucoma may not show symptoms. As it progresses, you may notice:

  • Gradual loss of peripheral (side) vision
  • Blurred vision
  • Eye pain or pressure
  • Halos around lights
  • Redness in the eye (in acute cases)
  • Sudden vision loss (medical emergency)

Who is at Risk?

You may be at higher risk if you:

    • Are over 40 years of age
    • Have a family history of glaucoma
    • Have diabetes or high blood pressure
    • Have had previous eye injuries
    • Use steroid medications long-term
