Why Choose Vatsal Eye Care for Glaucoma Treatment?
Long-Term Doctor-Led Glaucoma Care
Glaucoma is usually a long-term condition that needs regular follow-up. Dr Pritam Dedhia guides diagnosis, treatment planning and monitoring with a consistent doctor-led approach.
Perimetry for Visual Field Testing
Computerised Perimetry helps detect and monitor side-vision loss, which is important because Glaucoma may progress silently before patients notice symptoms.
OCT RNFL for Optic Nerve Monitoring
OCT RNFL helps assess the optic nerve fibre layer and supports early detection and follow-up of Glaucoma-related optic nerve changes.
Eye Pressure Tracking & Risk Assessment
Glaucoma evaluation includes eye pressure measurement, optic nerve assessment and risk-factor review to decide whether drops, laser advice or surgical guidance may be needed.
Clear Counselling Before Lifelong Treatment
Patients and families are counselled about eye pressure, optic nerve health, visual field reports, eye drops, follow-up frequency and when treatment changes may be required.

Common Questions
What is Glaucoma?
+
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that can damage the optic nerve, often related to raised eye pressure. It may progress slowly and silently, so regular eye pressure and optic nerve checks are important.
Why is Glaucoma called the silent thief of sight?
+
Glaucoma is often called the silent thief of sight because early stages may not cause pain or obvious symptoms. Side vision can reduce gradually, and patients may notice changes only when the disease has progressed.
Can lost vision from Glaucoma come back?
+
Vision already lost due to Glaucoma usually cannot be restored. The aim of treatment is to control eye pressure, monitor the optic nerve and reduce the risk of further vision loss.
When should I see a Glaucoma Doctor in Vasai?
+
You should consult an eye doctor for Glaucoma screening if you have high eye pressure, family history of Glaucoma, diabetes, long-term steroid use, optic nerve changes, side-vision complaints or are above 40 years of age.
What tests are done for Glaucoma diagnosis?
+
Glaucoma evaluation may include eye pressure measurement, optic nerve examination, OCT RNFL scan and computerised Perimetry or visual field test. These tests help assess structural and functional changes.
What is OCT RNFL in Glaucoma?
+
OCT RNFL is a scan that measures the retinal nerve fibre layer around the optic nerve. It helps detect and monitor optic nerve damage related to Glaucoma.
What is Perimetry or Visual Field Test?
+
Perimetry, also called a visual field test, checks side vision. It is important in Glaucoma because side-vision loss may occur before the patient notices symptoms.
Is surgery always needed for Glaucoma?
+
No. Many patients are managed with eye drops and regular monitoring. Laser or surgery may be discussed only when eye pressure is not adequately controlled or when the doctor feels additional treatment is needed.
How often should Glaucoma patients follow up?
+
Follow-up frequency depends on eye pressure, optic nerve status, visual field findings and disease severity. Some patients need periodic pressure checks, OCT RNFL and Perimetry to monitor progression.
What is the cost of Glaucoma treatment in Vasai?
+
Glaucoma treatment cost depends on consultation, eye pressure checks, OCT RNFL, Perimetry, medications, follow-up frequency and whether laser or surgery is advised. Costs are explained after examination and diagnosis.
Is Cashless Glaucoma treatment available?
+
Cashless support may be available for eligible Glaucoma procedures or investigations depending on policy terms, clinical indication and insurer or TPA approval. Our team can guide documentation where applicable.
