Glaucoma Treatment at Quironsalud Hospital Dubai: Protecting Your Vision
Glaucoma is a serious eye condition that can lead to irreversible vision loss if not treated properly. At Quironsalud Hospital Dubai, we offer state-of-the-art glaucoma treatment to manage and control the disease, preserving your vision and enhancing your quality of life. Our experienced ophthalmologists use the latest technologies and treatment options to help you maintain healthy eyes.
What is Glaucoma?
Glaucoma refers to a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, often due to increased intraocular pressure (IOP). This condition can cause gradual vision loss, starting with peripheral vision and potentially leading to blindness if left untreated. Early detection and treatment are crucial in preventing long-term damage and preserving vision.
At Quironsalud Hospital Dubai, we specialize in diagnosing and treating all forms of glaucoma, ensuring that our patients receive the best possible care and the most effective treatment options available.
Types of Glaucoma
There are several types of glaucoma, with the most common being:
Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG)
This is the most common form of glaucoma and occurs when the drainage angle in the eye becomes clogged, leading to increased pressure. It often develops slowly with no noticeable symptoms until significant damage has occurred.
Angle-Closure Glaucoma
This type of glaucoma occurs when the iris becomes too close to the drainage angle, blocking fluid drainage and causing a sudden increase in eye pressure. Angle-closure glaucoma is a medical emergency and requires immediate treatment.
Normal-Tension Glaucom
In some cases, glaucoma can occur even when the eye pressure is within normal limits. This type of glaucoma is called normal-tension glaucoma and may be related to other factors such as poor blood flow to the optic nerve.
Congenital Glaucoma
Some babies are born with a form of glaucoma due to developmental issues in the eye’s drainage system. Early diagnosis and treatment are vital to prevent vision loss.

Glaucoma Treatment Options
Medications
Most cases of glaucoma are initially treated with eye drops or oral medications to lower intraocular pressure (IOP). These medications help reduce the production of fluid in the eye or improve fluid drainage. Regular use of prescribed medications is essential to prevent further damage to the optic nerve.
Laser Treatment
Laser therapy can be used as a primary treatment or in combination with medications. There are several types of laser treatments available for glaucoma:
- Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT): A procedure used to improve fluid drainage in the eye by targeting specific cells in the drainage area.
- Laser Peripheral Iridotomy: Used in angle-closure glaucoma, this procedure creates a small hole in the iris to allow fluid to drain more easily.
- Laser Iridoplasty: This procedure is also used for angle-closure glaucoma, using laser energy to widen the angle of the eye and improve fluid drainage.
Surgical Treatment
In some cases, surgery may be necessary to treat glaucoma, particularly if medications and laser treatments are not effective in controlling eye pressure. Surgical options include:
- Trabeculectomy: A procedure in which a small flap is created in the sclera to allow fluid to drain and reduce intraocular pressure.
- Glaucoma Drainage Implants: Small devices that are implanted in the eye to improve fluid drainage and reduce pressure.
- Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS): A less invasive option that can be performed with a small incision to lower eye pressure with minimal recovery time.
Regular Monitoring and Follow-Up Care
Managing glaucoma is an ongoing process that requires regular monitoring. Our ophthalmologists will track your eye pressure and optic nerve health through frequent exams, ensuring that treatment remains effective and adjusting it as needed.

Great experience with Dr. Ghassan and Dr. Saad for my shoulder rehabilitation. The issue simply explained and identified and getting treated, which was missed by other top physios in Dubai.

Patient
I had my shoulder arthroscopy at this institute, and it went very well. The rehab process for the surgery was administered by Saad. Saad was very helpful and transparent throughout the rehabilitation, from dedicated sessions to regaining full range of motion to strengthening the shoulder back to normal. Highly recommend the institute (Dr. Ghassan especially) and Saad as well for the rehab!
