Glaucoma is a complicated eye condition that can lead to irreversible vision loss if not treated in time. At The Eye Center Karachi, our specialists are at the forefront of managing glaucoma using cutting-edge technologies and advanced surgical procedures. We understand that each patient requires an individualized approach, especially when conventional treatments fail to control the progression of glaucoma. In this article, we explore the advanced glaucoma procedures available at our center, which help patients preserve their vision and maintain quality of life.
Trabeculectomy: The Gold Standard
Trabeculectomy is one of the most commonly performed advanced glaucoma surgeries. At The Eye Center Karachi, our skilled surgeons perform trabeculectomies reglulary. This procedure creates a new channel for fluid to drain from the eye, thereby reducing intraocular pressure. This surgery is highly beneficial for patients whose glaucoma does not respond to medications or laser treatments. With the expertise of our specialists, patients experience a smoother recovery and improved outcomes.
Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS)
For patients in the early to moderate stages of glaucoma, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) can be a game-changer. Our clinic offers a range of MIGS procedures, including GATT, iStent implantation and canaloplasty. MIGS procedures are designed to lower eye pressure with less trauma to the eye, ensuring quicker recovery times and fewer complications compared to traditional surgeries. Our surgeons are highly experienced in selecting the right MIGS option for each patient, providing a customized and effective treatment plan.
Glaucoma Drainage Devices
For more advanced cases, glaucoma drainage devices such as the Ahmed Glaucoma Valve, Baerveldt implant and the Paul Galucoma Implant are employed by our specialists. These devices help manage eye pressure by creating an alternative drainage pathway, allowing fluid to exit the eye in a controlled manner. Our ophthalmologists have extensive experience with these implants, ensuring a precise placement that maximizes pressure reduction while minimizing side effects.
Laser Therapy: SLT and Cyclophotocoagulation
Laser treatments are often employed at times as the first step or also as an intermediate step between medication and surgery. At The Eye Center Karachi, we offer Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) as a safe and effective way to reduce intraocular pressure without incisions. Additionally, for patients with advanced glaucoma, our specialists may recommend Cyclophotocoagulation, a laser procedure that targets the ciliary body to reduce fluid production in the eye.
