Glaucoma is a silent thief of vision. This insidious disease attacks the optic nerve, the nerve that carries visual information from the eye to the brain. Often without warning, it can slowly destroy your vision before you even know it.

Fortunately, glaucoma can be effectively treated in Turkey if it is detected early.

Among our doctors for your Glaucoma treatment

What is glaucoma?

Glaucoma is an insidious eye disease that progressively damages the optic nerve, which is responsible for sending images to the brain. This deterioration leads to vision loss, often unnoticed at first. Peripheral vision is gradually reduced, then central vision may be affected. If left untreated, glaucoma can lead to irreversible blindness.

Glaucoma treatments aim to lower intraocular pressure and slow the progression of the disease. Treatment options for glaucoma are varied and may include eye drops, oral medications, laser treatment or surgery.

Our team of ophthalmologists will help you choose the treatment that is best for you based on the progression of your disease and your individual characteristics.

Causes of glaucoma

Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy characterized by progressive loss of optic nerve fibers, often associated with elevated intraocular pressure. This increase in pressure is due to an imbalance between the production and removal of aqueous humor at the iridocorneal angle.

The pathogenic mechanisms are diverse and may include genetic, hemodynamic, inflammatory, and neurodegenerative factors. The best known risk factors are advanced age, family history, myopia, hypertension, diabetes, and certain medications (corticosteroids).

Different forms of glaucoma

Glaucoma comes in a variety of forms, each with its own characteristics and requiring a tailored treatment approach. Our eye surgeons in Turkey are experienced in treating all types of glaucoma.

Glaucoma treatment in Turkey

Glaucoma, a silent eye disease, is treated in Turkey with an individualized approach aimed at reducing the pressure inside the eye. While this is essential to slow the progression of optic nerve damage, it does not always guarantee a complete cessation of the disease.

Treatment options

Several therapeutic approaches are available to reduce intraocular pressure:

Choice of treatment

The choice of treatment depends on several factors:

However, whatever treatment is chosen, regular follow-up visits to the ophthalmologist are essential to adjust treatment if necessary and to detect any progression of the disease.

Glaucoma treatment FAQ in Turkey

How long do glaucoma treatment and recovery take?

The duration of treatment and recovery depends on the type of intervention:

  • Eye drops: long-term daily treatment
  • Laser: quick procedure, recovery within a few hours
  • Surgery: full recovery within a few weeks with regular follow-up
Can glaucoma be completely cured?

Glaucoma cannot be completely cured, but its progression can be effectively controlled with appropriate treatment, which helps preserve vision.

At what age should glaucoma be screened?

Regular screening is recommended from the age of 40, or earlier if there is a family history or risk factors.

What precautions should be taken in case of glaucoma?

In case of glaucoma, it is important to:

  • Follow the prescribed treatment
  • Regularly check eye pressure
  • Avoid certain medications that can increase pressure
  • Protect the eyes from trauma
  • Adopt a healthy lifestyle (balanced diet, appropriate physical activity)
What are the potential side effects of glaucoma medications?

Glaucoma medications, mainly eye drops, may cause eye irritation, redness, stinging, temporary blurred vision, or more rarely, general effects such as headaches or fatigue. It is important to report any side effects to your ophthalmologist.
