What are the main treatment options for glaucoma?

Glaucoma treatments aim to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) and prevent vision loss. The main options include prescription eye drops, oral medications, laser treatments like Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT), and surgical procedures such as Trabeculectomy, MIGS (Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery), and tube implants. Your eye specialist will recommend the best treatment based on the type and severity of your glaucoma.

Can glaucoma be cured?

Glaucoma cannot be cured, but it can be effectively managed with early detection and proper treatment. The goal of glaucoma treatment is to control IOP and prevent further damage to the optic nerve, thereby preserving vision. Regular monitoring and adherence to your treatment plan are essential to managing the condition successfully.

How often should I see my eye doctor if I have glaucoma?

If you have glaucoma, it’s important to have regular check-ups, typically every 3 to 6 months, depending on the severity of your condition and the treatment you're receiving. Regular visits allow your doctor to monitor your IOP, assess the health of your optic nerve, and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

Are scans included in the glaucoma consultation price?

Scans are not included in the initial consultation fee. The initial consultation is £260, and scans cost £300 in total (either 1 or 2 scans, as confirmed by the consultant). This brings the total price to £560.
