Glaucoma Consultation

Glaucoma Consultation at Pink City Eye & Retina Center

At Pink City Eye & Retina Center, we truly care about your eyesight and your overall comfort. We understand that coming for an eye consultation, especially for conditions like glaucoma (kachbindu), can feel a bit overwhelming. We’re here to keep everything simple, understandable, and supportive for you.

A glaucoma consultation is a detailed and important eye check-up that helps us detect and manage glaucoma, a condition where the pressure inside the eye increases and slowly damages the optic nerve. If not treated in time, this can lead to permanent vision loss, especially side (peripheral) vision.

Glaucoma is known as the “silent sight stealer” because it rarely shows symptoms early on. That’s why regular checkups—especially after the age of 40—are very important, and even more so if you have a family history of glaucoma.

What Happens During a Glaucoma Consultation at Our Clinic?

Our aim is to make your visit as stress-free as possible. Here’s what you can expect when you come to Pink City Eye & Retina Center for a glaucoma consultation:

1. Review of Your Medical & Family History

Our friendly eye doctor will begin by asking you some questions about your:

·         General health

·         Existing medical conditions (like diabetes or high blood pressure)

·         Eye health history

·         Family history of glaucoma or other eye diseases

·         Current medications

This step helps us understand your risk factors and tailor your check-up accordingly.

2. Comprehensive Eye Examination

You will receive a complete eye check-up which includes:

·         Visual acuity test (to check how clearly you can see)

·         Slit-lamp examination (to look at the front part of your eye)

·         Tonometry (to measure the pressure inside your eye)

A dilated eye test might be necessary to clearly view your optic nerve.

3. Glaucoma-Specific Advanced Tests

At Pink City Eye & Retina Center, we use modern and safe techniques to get accurate results:

·         Gonioscopy – to check the drainage angle of your eye

·         Pachymetry –This test checks the cornea’s thickness.

·         OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) – to take a detailed scan of your optic nerve

·         Visual field test – to check if any areas in your peripheral vision are affected

These painless tests help us evaluate your overall eye condition thoroughly.

4. Detailed Discussion & Guidance

Once all tests are done, our specialist will sit with you and:

·         Explain your test results in easy-to-understand language

·         Let you know if you have glaucoma or are at risk

·         Discuss how serious the condition is, if detected

·         We suggest the most effective treatment options—these may be eye drops, laser procedures, or surgery.

Our mission includes guiding, informing, and assisting you all along the way. You will never feel rushed – we are here to answer all your questions patiently.

Why is a Glaucoma Consultation Important?

At Pink City Eye & Retina Center

At Pink City Eye & Retina Center, we always say—”Don’t wait for symptoms to protect your vision.” Glaucoma, or Kachbindu, is a serious eye condition that can slowly and silently damage your eyesight over time, often without any early signs.

That’s why a glaucoma consultation is not just important—it is life-changing and vision-saving.

Let us explain in a gentle and easy way why this consultation matters so much:

1. Early Detection – The First Step to Protecting Your Eyes

Glaucoma has no early signs and is only discovered after noticeable sight loss. At Pink City Eye & Retina Center, we use advanced tools to detect glaucoma in its very early stages, even before you feel any difference in your vision. Early detection helps us act quickly and save your eyesight.

2. Personalized Treatment and Management Options

If you’re diagnosed, don’t worry—we’ll support you through every phase. Glaucoma is manageable with the right care, such as:

·         Eye drops or oral medications

·         Laser procedures

·         Surgical options (in advanced cases)

Our experienced doctors will carefully assess your condition and recommend the most suitable treatment plan tailored just for you. We explain everything clearly and kindly so you feel informed and comfortable.

3. Regular Follow-Up – To Keep Your Eyes Safe

Glaucoma needs continuous monitoring. Even after treatment begins, regular follow-up consultations are very important to:

·       Evaluate how well your current treatment is performing

·         Make adjustments if needed

·        Keep track of your eye pressure and optic nerve status

·         Ensure no further damage is happening

At our center, we build a strong relationship with our patients. We remind you when check-ups are due and keep your care consistent and stress-free.

4. Preventing Vision Loss – Your Vision is Our Priority

The best part about detecting glaucoma early is that we can help stop it from getting worse. Without treatment, glaucoma can cause irreversible vision loss—but prompt action preserves sight.

At Pink City Eye & Retina Center, protecting your vision is not just our job—it’s our promise.

Glaucoma Tests at Our Clinic – Pink City Eye & Retina Center

At Pink City Eye & Retina Center, located in the heart of Jaipur, we have advanced, non-invasive tools to detect glaucoma at an early stage. Here are the main tests we use:

Tonometry (Eye Pressure Test)

This test measures the intraocular pressure (IOP) of your eyes. High pressure could be a sign of glaucoma. It’s quick and painless.

Ophthalmoscopy

This procedure allows us to inspect the optic nerve in detail. We look for any signs of damage or unusual shape.

Perimetry (Visual Field Test)

Determines how well you can detect side vision. It helps detect even small blind spots caused by glaucoma.

Gonioscopy

We use a special lens to see the drainage angle of your eye – this tells us if the fluid inside your eye is draining properly.

OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography)

A highly advanced imaging test that gives us a detailed view of your optic nerve and retina. It’s safe, quick, and very helpful in glaucoma cases.

We recognize that healthcare expenses matter to families. At Pink City Eye & Retina Center, we offer affordable glaucoma testing packages, while never compromising on quality or care.

  • Tonometry & Basic Check-up: ₹300 – ₹500

  • Complete Glaucoma Evaluation (All Tests Included): ₹2000 – ₹3000 approx.

Follow-Up Care for Glaucoma Patients

At Pink City Eye & Retina Center, our goal is not just to diagnose glaucoma, but to protect your vision over the long term with gentle care and regular monitoring.

Once glaucoma is detected, regular follow-up is absolutely essential to keep the condition under control and prevent further damage to your eyesight. Since glaucoma damage is irreversible, these follow-up visits help us make sure the disease does not silently get worse.

Let us explain in a simple and caring way how we take care of our glaucoma patients after the initial diagnosis.

1. Monthly Eye Pressure Check-Ups

After a glaucoma diagnosis, we ask patients to visit our clinic every month to monitor eye pressure. If pressure is too high, we adjust the medication to prevent further damage. These visits are quick, gentle, and essential for your eye health.

2. OCT Scan Every 4–6 Months

An OCT scan every 4–6 months is advised to monitor optic nerve condition. This advanced scan gives a detailed view of changes caused by glaucoma. It helps us ensure your treatment is working effectively.

3. Visual Field Test Every 4–6 Months

This test checks your side (peripheral) vision to detect any early vision loss. We repeat it every 4–6 months to see if glaucoma is progressing. Regular testing helps us adjust treatment before major vision loss occurs.
