Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness in the world. It is a chronic disease that, if not detected and treated in time, can progressively damage the optic nerve and cause loss of peripheral vision. However, ophthalmological medicine has advanced significantly, and today there are effective, safe and minimally invasive solutions that allow this disease to be controlled without resorting to aggressive surgery.
In Marbella, Dr. Ali Nowrouzi is an international leader in the modern treatment of glaucoma, combining state-of-the-art laser techniques with specialised, high-precision microsurgery. His approach is backed by highly exclusive training: he is one of the few ophthalmologists in the world - out of just 50 - to hold the prestigious FEBOS-CR title (Fellow of the European Board of Ophthalmology Subspecialty in Cataract and Refractive Surgery), as well as having completed a master's degree specialising in non-invasive glaucoma treatment and MIGS surgery.
What makes Dr. Nowrouzi's treatment different?
Dr. Nowrouzi applies an individualised, modern and minimally invasive approach to treating glaucoma. This means that he tailors each treatment to the type and degree of glaucoma, always aiming to preserve the patient's quality of life as much as possible and avoid unnecessary complications.
SLT Laser: Non-invasive and highly effective treatment
The selective trabecular laser (SLT) is one of Dr. Nowrouzi's first lines of treatment for open-angle glaucoma. It is a quick, painless and incisionless outpatient procedure that reduces intraocular pressure by stimulating the eye's natural drainage using selective pulses of light.
This treatment does not damage the eye tissue and can be repeated if necessary. For many patients, SLT reduces - or even eliminates - the need for daily eye drops, improving compliance and quality of life.
- 3D tomography of the iridocorneal angle, which allows detailed visualisation of the drainage area of the eye.
- Automated campimetry, to detect even the subtlest changes in the peripheral visual field
- Advanced pachymetry and tonometry, to precisely adjust treatment according to the characteristics of each patient.
Thanks to this high-precision diagnostic technology, Dr. Nowrouzi can detect glaucoma at very early stages and adjust treatment before significant and irreversible vision damage occurs.
A modern, minimally invasive approach
The treatment of glaucoma has evolved. It is no longer necessary to wait for the disease to progress before taking action, nor is it necessary to resort directly to invasive surgery. With options such as SLT laser, MIGS surgery with iStent and neuroregenerative therapies, it is now possible to effectively control glaucoma with minimal risk and rapid recovery.
Dr. Ali Nowrouzi represents the new generation of glaucoma specialists: highly qualified, trained in the most prestigious centres in Europe, with international recognition and a comprehensive vision of the patient. If you have been diagnosed with glaucoma or have a family history, don't wait for the disease to progress.
