As the condition progresses, it gradually causes peripheral (side) vision loss, which may not be immediately obvious. By the time symptoms appear, significant optic nerve damage may already have occurred. That\u2019s why regular eye exams are critical for detecting glaucoma before vision loss becomes significant.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cb47b5a\" data-id=\"cb47b5a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-562f268 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"562f268\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/youtu.be\\\/CBseTGDlX4w?si=pKCMM4eLQSADGqqh&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5fb3050 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default mkdf-parallax-row-no mkdf-content-aligment-left mkdf-elementor-row-grid-no mkdf-disabled-bg-image-bellow-no\" data-id=\"5fb3050\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e08b944\" data-id=\"e08b944\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d00d65e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d00d65e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advanced_Diagnostic_Technologies_at_Dr_Jivraj_Mehta_Hospital\"><\/span>Advanced Diagnostic Technologies at Dr. Jivraj Mehta Hospital<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-75281b6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"75281b6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>At Dr. Jivraj Mehta Hospital, we use state-of-the-art diagnostic technologies to provide the most accurate and comprehensive eye care.
