Tree Top Hospital Performs Successful Combined Cataract and Glaucoma Surgery

Tree Top Hospital has reached a significant milestone in eye care with the successful performance of a combined Cataract and Glaucoma filtration surgery, known as Phacotrabeculectomy. Led by Dr. Archana Sharma, the surgical team executed this complex procedure with precision and expertise, marking a breakthrough in local healthcare services.
The surgery, performed on a 55-year-old female patient with chronic angle closure glaucoma and advanced glaucoma in the left eye, addressed both conditions effectively. Glaucoma, characterized by elevated intraocular pressure and optic nerve damage, necessitated intervention to prevent further vision loss. Additionally, the patient presented with senile cataracts, impairing vision in both eyes.
Dr. Archana Sharma explained that Phacotrabeculectomy combines phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation for cataract treatment with trabeculectomy for glaucoma management. This integrated approach optimizes patient outcomes, improving vision while reducing intraocular pressure to mitigate optic nerve damage.
Traditionally, patients requiring such specialized procedures were referred abroad, incurring additional costs and logistical challenges. However, Tree Top Hospital's advanced healthcare facilities now offer comprehensive eye care locally, saving patients time, expense, and the stress associated with international travel.
Cataracts, often age-related, and glaucoma, a chronic eye condition, can significantly impact vision if left untreated. Dr. Archana Sharma emphasizes the importance of regular eye examinations to detect and manage these conditions early, preserving vision and enhancing quality of life.
Tree Top Hospital, a leading healthcare provider in the Maldives, remains committed to delivering exceptional medical services, including specialized eye care. With a focus on quality, affordability, and patient satisfaction, the hospital continues to redefine healthcare standards in the region.
