Glaucoma is a medical term used to describe a group of eye conditions that causes damage to the fibres of the optic nerves in the eyes. This main reason behind this is due to the build-up fluid pressure (aqueous humour) in the eye balls. The build-up of pressure is due to an imbalance of fluid production and its drainage out for the eye. This increase in intraocular pressure can damage senxxsitive optic nerves in the eyes, which are responsible for transmitting images to the brain. Over time, the damage of these optic nerves could be so severe and irreversible such that it leads to permanent blindness. To date, glaucoma accounts for 40% blindness in Singapore.
Sudden and severe pain in the eyes can be signs of glaucoma, a serious eye condition. However most often, glaucoma progresses with no symptoms and that is why regular eye screenings are important. Our clinic believes that prevention is better than cure and will like to encourage patients who think they are at risk to contact the clinic for an eye examination at a rate of just S$300.
