Glaucoma is a serious eye condition that can result in permanent vision loss. At Urmi Eye Hospital, we specialize in glaucoma surgery, a highly effective treatment for managing this condition. Our skilled ophthalmologists employ state-of-the-art techniques to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP), the main risk factor for glaucoma-related damage. Glaucoma surgery can significantly slow down the progression of the disease and preserve your vision.
