Open-angle glaucoma is a chronic eye condition in which the drainage system of the eye becomes less efficient, causing gradual increase in eye pressure and damage to the optic nerve. At Focus Eye Clinic, Dr. Mohini Modak may treat open-angle glaucoma with a personalized approach aimed at reducing intraocular pressure and preserving vision. Treatment commonly begins with medicated eye drops that improve fluid drainage or reduce fluid production inside the eye. In some patients, laser procedures such as may be advised to improve drainage. Advanced cases may require glaucoma surgery for long-term pressure control. Regular eye pressure checks, optic nerve evaluation, visual field testing, and lifelong follow-up are important because glaucoma damage is usually irreversible but can be controlled if detected early. Early diagnosis helps prevent progressive vision loss and protects long-term eye health.
