Glaucoma is often called the silent thief of sight because it can damage the optic nerve, frequently through raised eye pressure, without any early symptoms. Mahim residents with a family history of glaucoma, or anyone due for a routine eye check, should not wait for warning signs. At Trivision, diagnosis draws on advanced tools including OCT and visual field (perimetry) testing, which can detect changes long before you notice them. Damage that has already occurred cannot be reversed, but treatment can halt or slow further progression, so early detection matters. From Mahim, patients travel via the Mahim Causeway to Linking Road. Trivision Eye Hospital is on the 2nd floor of V N Sphere Mall, Linking Road, Bandra West, directly opposite Shoppers Stop and above the Titan Showroom.
From Mahim, patients typically travel via the Mahim Causeway or SV Road towards Bandra West and on to Linking Road. [TODO verify route: exact recommended route/travel time from Mahim].
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often caused by elevated pressure inside the eye. Because early glaucoma frequently has no symptoms, it can progress silently and lead to irreversible vision loss if undetected — regular comprehensive eye exams are the most important precaution.
Vision loss typically begins in the peripheral (side) field of view, which people rarely notice until the damage is advanced. Acute angle-closure glaucoma is a less common emergency that can cause sudden eye pain, headache, halos around lights and blurred vision, and needs immediate attention.
Anyone due for a routine eye check, with a family history of glaucoma, diabetes, high myopia, long-term steroid use or noticing peripheral vision changes should be evaluated. Everyone over 40 should include glaucoma screening in regular eye care.
Diagnosis uses advanced tools including OCT, gonioscopy and visual field (perimetry) testing.
