GDX Test for Early Detection of Glaucoma

Aurangabad, India, May 25, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The GDX VCC machine is now available at Hazari Nursing Home, Aurangabad. The GDX is useful for early detection of glaucoma - almost about 3-4 years before the patient comes to know about it. Glaucoma is the second most important cause of preventable blindness. The availability of the GDX machine goes a long way in early detection of glaucoma for the people of Aurangabad city and region. This is the first machine in the region.

Hazari Nursing Home has always been at the forefront of introducing new technology for better treatment. It is the leading centre in the region for managemnet of glaucoma and phaco-cataract surgery in Aurangabad region.

The GDX machine takes an image of the retinal nerve fibre layer and measures its thickness. This is compared to thickness data from normal people of reevant age groups and ethnic background. By detecting early structural damage to the optic nerve it can forewarn us about glaucomatous damage almost 3-4 years before the patient feels the damage in his daily routine.
