Glaucoma Early Detection, Automated Perimetry & Acute Red Eye Management
Prevent irreversible vision loss through timely intraocular pressure control, optic nerve imaging, and specialized red eye treatment.
Comprehensive diagnosis and long-term surveillance of glaucoma ("the silent thief of sight") combined with rapid triage for acute painful red eyes. Led by Dr. Neeta M. Maske with gold-standard applanation tonometry, Humphrey perimetry, and Nd:YAG laser iridotomy.
When Is This Care Recommended?
Family History of Glaucoma
High hereditary risk requiring annual optic nerve head and intraocular pressure surveillance after age 35.
Elevated Eye Pressure (Ocular Hypertension)
Intraocular pressure measuring consistently above the normal physiological threshold (12–21 mmHg).
Gradual Loss of Side / Peripheral Vision
Subtle contraction of the peripheral field (tunnel vision) unnoticed in everyday direct forward gazing.
Rainbow Halos Around Lights & Brow Ache
Sudden or intermittent seeing of rainbow rings around bulbs accompanied by frontal brow ache or nausea.
Persistent Redness, Pain or Foreign Body Sensation
Red, irritable eyes caused by acute conjunctivitis, episcleritis, anterior uveitis, or corneal ulcers.
Long-Term Steroid Medication Usage
Steroid-induced secondary glaucoma risk following chronic inhaler, systemic, or skin ointment therapy.
Advanced Technology & Clinical Protocols
Goldmann Applanation Tonometry (GAT)
The international gold standard for measuring true intraocular pressure with high repeatability and clinical precision.
Humphrey Automated Visual Field Perimetry
Computerized visual field charting that identifies microscopic nerve fiber bundle defects long before noticeable sight loss.
Gonioscopy Angle Evaluation
Direct four-mirror visualization of the anterior chamber drainage angle to distinguish open-angle from angle-closure glaucoma.
Nd:YAG Laser Peripheral Iridotomy (LPI)
In-clinic, painless laser procedure creating a microscopic bypass opening in narrow angles to prevent acute glaucoma attacks.
Step-by-Step Clinical Journey
Goldmann Pressure & Corneal Thickness Check
Painless measurement of eye pressure combined with central corneal thickness (pachymetry) correction.
Optic Nerve Head & Angle Evaluation
Biomicroscopic assessment of the optic disc cup-to-disc ratio and gonioscopic inspection of trabecular outflow.
Computerized Visual Field Perimetry
Interactive light detection mapping to discover subtle peripheral blind spots and establish a baseline.
Targeted Medical or Laser Therapy
Prescription of targeted pressure-lowering drops, Nd:YAG laser iridotomy, or acute antimicrobial red eye management.
