Biometry in POAG and PACG
EAGLE Trial and Clinical Implications
The EAGLE trial used biometric criteria to select PACG patients for CLE. At Suraj Eye Institute, biometry is routinely performed for all glaucoma patients being assessed for surgical intervention, enabling informed decision-making between laser and surgical options.
Why Choose Suraj Eye Institute?
Our glaucoma team integrates advanced biometric analysis with clinical examination and imaging to stratify glaucoma risk, guide treatment selection, and optimize surgical outcomes. Precision biometry ensures that PACG patients receive the most anatomically appropriate intervention — whether LPI, CLE, or combined procedures.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this condition treatable?
Yes. Glaucoma cannot be cured, but modern treatment — eye drops, laser, or surgery — can slow or halt progression when started early. The key is early detection through regular eye examinations.
How often should I be examined?
Most patients with glaucoma need a detailed eye exam every 3–6 months. The exact interval is decided by your treating consultant based on severity, target pressure, and disease stability.
Will I lose my vision?
Vision loss from glaucoma is preventable in most patients who adhere to treatment and follow-up. Progressive vision loss usually occurs only when disease is advanced or treatment is irregular.
