Glaucoma Care
Most patients who see Dr Bhartiya for glaucoma are either newly diagnosed and uncertain what to do next, or have been on treatment for years and are not sure it is working. Both are valid reasons to be here.
- Glaucoma evaluation, diagnosis and treatment
- Glaucoma second opinion and personalised treatment planning
- Visual field test interpretation — many patients are told results are “normal” or “abnormal” without being told what that means for them
- High eye pressure (IOP) evaluation — Goldmann applanation tonometry and 24-hour IOP patterns
- Personalised target eye pressure assessment — not all patients with glaucoma need the same pressure target
- Glaucoma progression analysis — evaluating whether your glaucoma is stable or worsening
- Glaucoma risk stratification and family screening — individual risk assessment based on optic nerve, IOP, and family history
- Optic nerve damage assessment — advanced evaluation using slit lamp, OCT, and imaging
- Normal eye pressure with optic nerve damage — normal tension glaucoma evaluation
- Glaucoma treatment planning — drops vs laser vs surgery, based on your disease stage and lifestyle
- Glaucoma lasers — selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) and laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI)
- Glaucoma surgery — trabeculectomy, MIGS, glaucoma drainage devices
- Living with glaucoma — counselling and coping support for patients adjusting to a long-term diagnosis
Specialist Consultations
These are services for patients with specific clinical questions — often patients who have been elsewhere and want a focused, expert assessment.
- Eye evaluation before GLP-1 agonists (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro): screening for retinal and optic nerve risk before starting or continuing GLP-1 medications. Dr Bhartiya has published a systematic review on GLP-1 agonists and the eye (PubMed indexed, 2025).
- Online glaucoma consultation and second opinion: remote consultation for glaucoma, optic nerve concerns, and complex eye conditions, for patients outside Gurgaon and Faridabad
- Second opinion for complex eye conditions: before any eye surgery, for unexplained vision changes, or when you want clarity before committing to a treatment plan
- Pre-surgical counselling: understanding options, risks, and benefits before cataract, glaucoma, or refractive surgery
- Guidance for chronic eye conditions: long-term support and realistic planning for patients managing glaucoma, dry eye, or other ongoing conditions
Ocular Surface Diseases
Screen time, pollution, and contact lens use are driving a quiet epidemic of surface eye disease. Many patients have been told their eyes are “normal” when the problem is simply being missed.
- Dry eye evaluation and treatment
- Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) — advanced assessment and treatment
- Computer vision syndrome — screen-related eye strain and digital eye fatigue
- Eye allergy treatment — itching, redness, and chronic watering
- Uveitis and ocular inflammation — including rheumatology-related eye disease and ocular GVHD
Neuro-ophthalmology
Symptoms like sudden vision loss, double vision, drooping eyelid, or unexplained headache with eye pain often sit at the boundary of neurology and ophthalmology. Dr Bhartiya sees these cases directly.
- Neuro-ophthalmology consultation and second opinion
- Evaluation of double vision (diplopia)
- Optic nerve disease — optic neuritis, papilloedema, ischaemic optic neuropathy
- Unexplained visual loss and visual field defects
Paediatric Ophthalmology
Children rarely complain about their vision — they simply adapt. A missed refractive error or lazy eye can affect learning, confidence, and development for years.
- Paediatric eye examination — including refraction and spectacle prescription for children
- Myopia progression prevention in children — myopia control strategies to slow worsening short-sightedness
- Squint (strabismus) evaluation and management — children and adults
- Lazy eye (amblyopia) treatment — including eye patch therapy
Comprehensive Eye Health
- Comprehensive eye examination — refraction, retina, and optic nerve assessment for children and adults
- Retina check-up — including screening for diabetic eye disease
- Evaluation and monitoring of age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
- Cataract evaluation and management
- LASIK and ICL suitability assessment — unbiased counselling on spectacle removal options
Not Sure About Your Diagnosis? You Are Not Alone.
Many patients arrive after a diagnosis elsewhere — unsure whether to start treatment, concerned about long-term progression, or wanting clarity before committing to a plan. A second opinion is not a sign of distrust. It is good medicine.
