| Glaucoma |
As per the recommendation of the NPCB survey (2002), to prevent serious loss of vision, Glaucoma screening is done for all patients aged above 35 years who access SNC’s services. The Glaucoma Department receives a high volume of Primary Glaucoma which is inherited along with Secondary Glaucoma due to trauma, inflammation, diabetes, retinal vascular disease and hyper mature cataracts. |
  |
| The Glaucoma Department performs all advanced diagnostic tests for Glaucoma screening such as, Automated Perimetery, Goldman Applanation Tonometry, Gonioscopy, Fundoscopy and YAG Laser Iridectomy. The Department of Glaucoma at SNC performs 2600 glaucoma surgeries on an average annually.
The future sights for the Glaucoma Department include developing in to a teaching and training centre and initiating a large-scale Glaucoma Outreach Screening project. |
