Eyes are an instrument—an instrument through which every person can explore the world, communicate, develop, admire beauty, and analyze. An instrument that is one of the primary senses of the human body. Without it, the quality and way of life become significantly more complicated, and many things that seem simple become impossible. That is why it is so important to undergo examinations in a timely and regular manner. Preventing eye diseases, detecting even the slightest deviations early, and providing effective treatment at early stages can save your sight and prevent blindness.

Glaucoma – Surgical Treatment

We often ignore various changes in our bodies, attributing them to stressful situations, fatigue, or geomagnetic storms. However, vision diagnostics—especially as we age—is something that must not be neglected. After all, any, even “unnoticeable,” symptoms can serve as critical signals from your body that should not be overlooked. Annual examinations and consultations with a doctor will help you avoid the exacerbation or onset of various complex diseases.

Modern ophthalmology has reached a high level of methodology and diagnostics, enabling us to effectively treat and combat diseases at early stages, preventing them from worsening our health and life. Glaucoma is one of the eye diseases whose main characteristics are elevated intraocular pressure and gradual vision deterioration. Unfortunately, ignoring this condition or disregarding the prescribed treatment plan can lead to irreversible blindness. Therefore, it is important to visit an ophthalmologist from time to time and follow all recommendations. The primary cause of glaucoma is impaired outflow of intraocular fluid, which raises pressure and damages the healthy nerve. Surgical treatment can be an alternative to medical therapy. Like many other common eye conditions, glaucoma may be caused by genetic factors, age-related changes, systemic diseases (for example, heart disease), as well as farsightedness or nearsightedness. We cannot influence most of these factors, which is why regular doctor visits are crucial, as only a professional can detect the potential development of the disease in time.

Depending on the mechanism of development, there are four main types of glaucoma:

1. Congenital (diagnosed at birth).
2. Open-angle (intraocular pressure increases due to impaired outflow of intraocular fluid).
3. Angle-closure (occurs if the iris of the eye blocks fluid outflow).
4. Secondary (is a complication of other diseases).

Thus, glaucoma—a condition for which “German Eye Clinic” offers surgical treatment—is a chronic disease that, in most cases, is acquired due to age-related changes or complications of other illnesses. Timely surgical intervention and eye surgery for glaucoma in Kyiv will save your vision and prevent you from losing one of the main sensory functions of the body.

Glaucoma Surgery at “German Eye Clinic”

Glaucoma, which requires a complete preliminary diagnosis and consultation with an ophthalmologist, is one of the conditions that our specialists know how to manage successfully. Glaucoma surgeries create an additional outflow system for the aqueous humor, eliminate the need for medications, and restore healthy vision. In our work, we use modern treatment methods that serve as an alternative to medical therapy and help halt the glaucomatous process and preserve vision. Our specialists perform three types of anti-glaucoma operations:

1. NGSE (Non-penetrating Deep Sclerectomy). Primarily used for open-angle glaucoma. This type of surgery does not require opening the eye and reduces pressure gradually. When performed by our surgeons, the risk of complications is reduced to nearly zero.
2. Trabeculectomy – a penetrating anti-glaucoma procedure. Its main difference from NGSE is the need to open the eye. It is used for advanced glaucoma and has higher effectiveness.
3. Anti-glaucoma surgery with Ex-PRESS shunt implantation. The goal is to drain intraocular fluid from the anterior chamber into the subscleral space via an implant. Advantages: fewer postoperative complications and a better safety profile.

Glaucoma of the eye is a serious disease, but our ophthalmic surgeons have many years of experience in overcoming it. The patient’s main task is to trust the professionals and follow all recommendations according to the treatment plan. With this approach, glaucoma surgery, whose cost depends on the specific diagnosis, will be effective and successful.
