Glaucoma Treatment in Karachi — FAQs
Can glaucoma vision loss be reversed?
No — lost vision from glaucoma cannot be restored. But treatment halts further progression. Early detection is critical.
Is SLT laser effective?
Yes. SLT lowers IOP by 20–30% in most patients and can be repeated if pressure rises again.
How often should I be screened for glaucoma?
Annual screening from age 40, or earlier if you have risk factors (family history, diabetes, myopia, steroid use).
