How Glaucoma Affects Vision

Glaucoma typically affects side (peripheral) vision first. As it progresses, vision may narrow, sometimes described as tunnel vision. Drag the slider to see how early detection helps protect what you can see.

Advances in Care

Recent Advances in Glaucoma Treatment

Glaucoma treatment continues to evolve, with newer laser techniques and minimally invasive surgical options now giving patients more choices, often with faster recovery and a lighter daily treatment routine. Prof. Dr. Yomna stays current with these advances and applies them when they suit a patient's case.

Patient Reviews

What Patients Say

Real feedback from patients Dr. Yomna has treated for glaucoma, cataracts, and general eye care.

I traveled all the way from Nigeria for treatment with Dr. Yomna, and it was worth every mile. The results were excellent and I felt cared for at every step. She's truly one of the best glaucoma specialists I have ever met.

Dr. Yomna explains everything so clearly and is incredibly patient with her patients. My mother was treated by her and we are both extremely satisfied with the results. She's the best glaucoma and cataract specialist we've found in Cairo.

Dr. Yomna treated my glaucoma with real care and expertise. She's one of the best glaucoma specialists I've come across. What touched me most is that even after I traveled back home to Libya, she kept following up with me by phone to make sure I was recovering well.

I came to Dr. Yomna with extremely high eye pressure. I was very lucky to find one of the best glaucoma doctors in Egypt. Her quick action saved my sight. I can't thank her enough.
