What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a group of diseases that can damage the eye's optic nerve and result in vision loss and blindness. Glaucoma occurs when the normal fluid pressure inside the eyes slowly rises. However, with early treatment, you can often protect your eyes against serious vision loss.

Glaucoma Risk Heighten Factors

• Age (especially over 35)
• Genetic Factors (Family history of glaucoma)
• Having diabetes
• Anaemia
• High- low systemic blood pressure ( body tension)
• High myopia
• High hypermetropia
• Migraine
• Using corticosteroids for prolonged periods
• Physical injuries to the eye

Symptoms of Glaucoma

No symptoms are visible when you have glaucoma. In an advanced stage it will form a threat for our eye-sight. With regular and detailed eye examinations glaucoma can be discovered at the early stages. With NFA (Nerve Fiber Analyzer) we are able to determine the damage to the optical nerve fibers. Top determines damage to the nerve fibers at the optical nerve head and the retinal surface.

In general cataract is age related, but cataract can be seen even with babies and children. Some illnesses and the use of certain medication can cause early cataract.

Our experienced surgeons can effectively and successfully treat cataract with the PHACO-technique and the latest techniques used at the  Dunyagoz Group .

	OCT 3 can be used to determine cataract and to determine the condition of nerve vessels and to evaluate the optical nerves.
	HRT 2 is a tomographic method that is used for analysis of the optical nerves.
	A detailed optical examination determines the amount of damage to the optical nerves.

Patients older than 40 years should do a detailed eye examination once a year and should have measured their eye-pressure. (intra ocular pressure). With its specialized staff and technological infrastructure, our hospital is the leading institution in early diagnoses and treatment of glaucoma.
