Protecting your vision through early diagnosis, expert monitoring, and advanced glaucoma treatments tailored to your condition.
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, usually due to elevated intraocular pressure. It is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness but can be managed effectively with early intervention.
Left untreated, glaucoma can progress without symptoms until vision is permanently affected. Regular eye exams and specialist care are key to preserving sight.
A slow-progressing, chronic form where fluid drains inefficiently, causing pressure build-up. Most common type.
Caused by sudden blockage of the eye’s drainage system, resulting in rapid pressure rise.
Develops as a result of another eye condition, trauma, or medication.
A rare condition present from birth due to abnormal eye drainage systems.
You might need glaucoma care if:
You’ve been told you have high eye pressure
You have a family history of glaucoma
You’ve noticed vision changes or blind spots
Your optician referred you for glaucoma testing
You want a second opinion or feel unsure about your current plan
We offer a full spectrum of modern glaucoma treatments tailored to your stage and severity:
Each treatment is selected based on your eye anatomy, glaucoma type, and how well you respond to initial management.

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions in which the optic nerve becomes damaged, often (but not always) due to elevated pressure inside the eye. Over time, this can lead to gradual, irreversible loss of peripheral vision. Because vision loss is typically painless and subtle at first, early detection is crucial.
Most types of glaucoma cause no symptoms in the early stages. As the condition progresses, patients may notice narrowing of side vision or patchy blind spots. Acute angle-closure glaucoma — a separate, urgent condition — can cause severe pain, blurred vision, headache, nausea, and haloes around lights.
Damage from glaucoma is permanent, but early diagnosis allows treatment to prevent further loss. Regular eye examinations are essential, especially if there is a family history, high eye pressure, or other risk factors.
The centre provides three main categories of treatment:
Eye drops reduce pressure by either decreasing the amount of fluid produced in the eye or improving the drainage of fluid out of the eye. Several classes exist, including prostaglandin analogues, beta-blockers, and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. Your consultant will tailor the regimen to your pressure targets and lifestyle.
For many patients, drops are the first line of treatment and can successfully control eye pressure long-term with good adherence. Regular monitoring is still required to ensure stability.
SLT is a gentle laser treatment that improves drainage through the eye’s natural outflow pathway. It is non-invasive, painless, and usually completed within minutes. It can be used as a first-line treatment or alongside drops.
Many patients maintain good pressure control for several years after SLT. The effect can diminish over time, but SLT can be repeated if necessary.
SLT uses lower energy than older laser methods, making it more targeted and often better tolerated. There is minimal downtime and no incision or tissue damage.
MIGS (Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery) involves implanting a tiny stent or device to enhance fluid drainage within the eye. These procedures are less invasive than traditional glaucoma surgery, involve quicker recovery, and can significantly reduce eye pressure — often reducing the need for long-term drops.
Suitability depends on the type and severity of glaucoma, current eye pressure, previous treatments, and overall eye health. MIGS is commonly recommended for patients with mild-to-moderate glaucoma or those undergoing cataract surgery who would benefit from pressure reduction.
Yes. Glaucoma stent surgery is typically performed under local anaesthesia, often at the same time as cataract surgery. Recovery is generally quicker and more comfortable than traditional glaucoma surgery.
Glaucoma requires lifelong monitoring. Depending on the stability of your eye pressure and optic nerve, you may need appointments every few months. Monitoring may include pressure checks, visual field tests, nerve imaging, and optic nerve examinations.
There is no cure — but treatment is highly effective at preventing further vision loss. Many people with glaucoma maintain good vision throughout life when diagnosed early and treated appropriately.
The centre provides consultant-led care using modern diagnostic tools, personalised pressure targets, and the full spectrum of treatments — from drops and laser to minimally invasive stent surgery. Emphasis is placed on early intervention, long-term monitoring, and ensuring each patient has a clear understanding of their treatment plan and expected outcomes.
Your glaucoma treatment assessment is complimentary. An hour with our diagnostic team and a real conversation with the surgeon who would treat you. No obligation.
