Glaucoma and cataract are among the leading causes of vision problems worldwide. Many people only notice symptoms late—especially with glaucoma, which can steal peripheral vision quietly. At Shalaaki Eye and ENT Clinic in Bangalore, we provide glaucoma and cataract consultation, help you understand your risk, and guide you on when specialist surgery centres may be needed.

What is glaucoma?

Glaucoma is usually related to raised pressure inside the eye damaging the optic nerve. It often has no early symptoms. Risk factors include age, family history, diabetes, high eye pressure, and some ethnic backgrounds. Only regular eye exams can catch it early enough to preserve vision.

What is cataract?

Cataract is clouding of the eye’s natural lens. It causes gradual blurring, glare at night, and faded colours. It is common with ageing and sometimes accelerated by diabetes, steroids, or UV exposure. Surgery is the definitive treatment when vision affects daily life—we help you know the right timing.

Warning signs to discuss with an eye doctor

  • Gradual blurring or needing frequent prescription changes
  • Halos around lights or glare when driving at night
  • Loss of side vision or “tunnel” vision (glaucoma—urgent)
  • Sudden eye pain, headache, nausea with blurred vision (possible acute glaucoma—emergency)
