A condition in which pressure inside the eye rises, damaging the optic nerve and narrowing the field of vision.
With glaucoma, by the time you notice symptoms, your field of vision has often already narrowed a lot. That's why OLIM Eye Clinic Gangnam has both diagnostic and treatment equipment.
Diagnostic · Retina & optic nerve OCTTOPCON 3D OCT-1With the TOPCON CT-800 non-contact tonometer, IRC IVS-201B visual field analyzer and TOPCON 3D OCT-1 optic nerve imaging, we identify the type and progression of glaucoma.
Diagnostic · Wide-field retinal imagingOPTOS DAYTONAOPTOS DAYTONA captures 200 degrees of the retina, so we also check retinal conditions that need attention alongside glaucoma.
Treatment · YAG & SLT laserQM Optimis FusionWe perform glaucoma laser treatment with the QM Optimis Fusion, which does both YAG and SLT. We choose medication, laser or surgery to suit your type.
Eye pressure keeps the eye in shape. When it rises for various reasons, the optic nerve is damaged. Glaucoma causes no pain and progresses slowly, so by the time you notice symptoms, your field of vision has already narrowed considerably. That is why early diagnosis matters most.
Caused by conditions such as uveitis, steroid eye drops, retinal disease or cataract. The underlying condition sometimes needs to be treated as well.
Damage starts slowly in the peripheral vision, so it is hard to notice. It is classified as normal-tension, open-angle, angle-closure or congenital glaucoma.

You have a symptom on this list. An eye exam can tell you exactly where things stand.
Submit requestEye drops lower eye pressure.
SLT and YAG lasers help aqueous humor drain.
Considered when medication and laser cannot control it.
A multipurpose laser for both YAG and SLT treatment, used in cataract- and glaucoma-related care.
Captures 200° wide-field images out to the peripheral retina without dilating drops, for early detection of macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and retinal detachment.
Measures eye pressure without touching the eye. Used for early glaucoma diagnosis and follow-up.
Measures the visual field by recording responses to small points of light shown in different positions.
Glaucoma involves several factors rather than one cause. High eye pressure doesn't always lead to glaucoma, and glaucoma can also develop with normal pressure.
Even with good visual acuity, your field of vision may be narrowing from the edges. Comparing results over time matters more than a single result.
| What it checks | Equipment | |
|---|---|---|
| Eye pressure test | Pressure inside the eye | TOPCON CT-800 (non-contact) |
| Visual field test | The range you can actually see, and any gaps | IRC IVS-201B |
| Optic nerve OCT | Changes in thickness of the optic nerve and retinal nerve layer | TOPCON 3D OCT-1 |
| Fundus · wide-field retinal imaging | Optic nerve shape and the whole retina | OPTOS DAYTONA |
Prescription eye drops come first. Laser treatment helps fluid (aqueous humor) drain from the eye and can be done as an outpatient. If drops and laser can't control it, surgery is considered. Vision already lost is hard to restore, so the goal of treatment is to slow progression.
Most glaucoma progresses slowly, but angle-closure glaucoma can come on suddenly. If the symptoms below occur together, don't wait—get seen right away.

No. Normal-tension glaucoma damages the optic nerve even at normal pressure. That's why we look at optic nerve imaging and visual field tests along with eye pressure.
There's no treatment yet that fully cures glaucoma. But starting treatment early can slow further optic nerve damage, so consistent care matters.
There are almost no symptoms early on, so it has to be found through testing. We look at eye pressure, visual field, optic nerve OCT and fundus imaging together, and compare with previous results to see changes.
It's important to use prescribed drops every day as directed. If they feel uncomfortable or unusual, don't stop on your own—talk to your care team.
Glaucoma tends to run in families, so your risk is higher. Even without symptoms, a detailed exam every 1–2 years is a good idea.
We check eye pressure, the optic nerve and your field of vision in one visit.
