Glaucoma develops silently, often causing irreversible damage to your optic nerve and vision loss before symptoms are noticed. This painless eye disease, a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, occurs when fluid buildup increases eye pressure and progressively damages the optic nerve and causing visual field loss. Primary open-angle glaucoma, its most common form in developed countries, accounts for roughly 85 to 90% of cases there, with the split shifting toward angle-closure glaucoma in some regions. Fortunately, effective treatment options are available in Turkey, focusing on lowering intraocular pressure to stop or slow vision loss before it becomes noticeable.
Early detection and treatment are critical because vision loss caused by the disease's progression is irreversible, but medications and surgical treatments can help slow or halt further vision deterioration. Glaucoma treatment in Turkey benefits from advanced diagnostic technology and experienced ophthalmologists, with costs typically ranging from about USD 500 to 8,000 depending on the approach, from laser procedures such as iridectomy to surgery such as trabeculectomy. Ophthalmology specialists in Turkey combine comprehensive eye exams with personalized treatment plans to preserve your remaining vision and prevent further damage. Turquie Santé coordinates your entire medical journey, from initial consultation to surgical intervention if needed, ensuring seamless care at transparent international rates.
