Glaucoma treatment in New Al Shefa Clinic
About the clinic
Glaucoma treatment at New Al Shefa Clinic in Dubai, UAE, provides patients with advanced surgical and laser options to manage eye pressure. The center is led by Dr. Ahmad Hossein Zadeh, a consultant with over 30 years of experience who holds a double fellowship from the UK. The facility follows high safety standards and maintains QUAD-A accreditation along with compliance from the DHA and MOH.
Advanced Glaucoma Diagnostics
Successful management begins with a precise assessment of the optic nerve and eye structure. The clinic uses specialized tools to monitor the progression of the disease and determine the best therapy. Patients receive a full evaluation through several methods:
- Intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement to check internal fluid tension.
- OCT optic nerve analysis for detailed imaging of the nerve fibers.
- Visual field analysis, also known as perimetry, to map the range of sight.
- Corneal pachymetry and angle studies to identify the specific type of glaucoma.
Laser and Surgical Options
Treatment plans depend on whether a patient has open-angle, closed-angle, or congenital glaucoma. While some cases are managed with eye drops, others require laser or surgical intervention. Dr. Ahmad Hossein Zadeh uses Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) for open-angle cases. For closed-angle glaucoma, he performs Laser Peripheral Iridotomy (LPI).
When standard treatments are not enough, the clinic offers modern surgical techniques. Microinvasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS) is available to lower pressure while reducing the risk of complications. For more complex cases, such as pediatric or neovascular glaucoma, surgeons use Ahmed glaucoma valves or Ex-Press shunts. These devices help drain excess fluid when previous surgeries have not worked.
