Dr. Deepa AgarwalGlaucoma Specialist
Glaucoma is a major cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. If this disease is not detected within a certain time period, it leads to irreversible blindness. Glaucoma is because of the rise in intra-ocular pressure, this pressure presses on the optic nerve causing blindness. There are medical conditions and hereditary traits that can increase the chances of having glaucoma. It is advisable for people to undergo frequent and regular eye checkups. Any symptoms like losing eyesight, frequent headaches or seeing coloured halos of light, consult an ophthalmologist ASAP.
We at the REH focus on the early diagnosis of Glaucoma in order to treat and prevent this blindness. With the era of techniques like non invasive technique, selective laser travaculor plasty, and various surgeries like shunts, valves or tubes, we can treat this disease and prevent the blindness of glaucoma.

Control of childhood blindness is one of the priorities identified for achieving the goals of Vision 2020 – the program launched by the World Health Organization (WHO) for the elimination of avoidable preventable blindness in children.
When a family is present with a child having the problem, what is needed the most is a very thorough examination in terms of proper visual assessment, physical assessment of the child, as well as a complete assessment in details.

BE AN ANGEL PROGRAM
In spite of the advancements in the field of eye care, pediatric eye care in India still remains a challenging field because it requires special skills to perform surgeries on a child. In India 1 out of every 1000 children is blind.
This is indeed troublesome, considering that a visually impaired child means a greater number of years without proper vision and subsequently a reduced number of opportunities in life. All this can be prevented if proper eye care is provided on time, but it is often neglected because of lack of understanding, poverty or ignorance.
To fight these challenges we have introduced ‘Adopt a child program’,through which we provide eye care to less fortunate children with the help of donations. We have multiple options under this initiative where the
donors can sponsor an eye examination, a surgery or low vision aids for children.
FIGHT DIABETIC VISION
‘Fight Diabetic Vision’ is an initiative by REH with an objective to fight vision loss among diabetic patients by the means of early detection. Currently, 4 crore Indians are estimated to be suffering from diabetes. By 2025, this number will rise to 7 crore approximately. This is a serious issue because with the growing incidence of diabetes the risk of vision loss also increases as these patients are more susceptible to disorders like diabetic retinopathy, cataract and glaucoma.
Through this drive, we aim to detect diabetic retinopathy in its early stage by educating / screening as many people including patients having diabetes irrespective of age, people having diabetes in the family (diabetes being a hereditary disease) or organizing screening camps for diabetic patients. The best way to fight against diabetic retinopathy is early detection and quick action.
ACT BEFORE GLAUCOMA STRIKES
By 2020 India will become 2nd largest Glaucoma populated country in the world. Also, Glaucoma is the 3rd leading cause of blindness in India. 12 million people aged 40 years and older are affected accounting for 12.8% of the country’s blindness. Population based studies reports a prevalence between 2 to 13% of the population in India might suffer from Glaucoma.
Glaucoma can affect any age group, including newborns, infants, children and elderly. But it presents no symptoms and is therefore known as ‘The Silent Thief of Vision’. The only way to detect glaucoma is through an eye examination by an ophthalmologist.
Through this drive, we plan to conduct checkup camps for corporates and students to diagnose and treat glaucoma before it steals their vision.
