Patient's question:
My brother was diagnosed with glaucoma. Is the treatment cost for glaucoma high?Doctor's answer:
The specific types of glaucoma vary, and so do their treatment methods. A detailed examination should be conducted to determine the specific type, intraocular pressure levels, and the degree of open-angle, in order to select an appropriate treatment plan. There are many types of glaucoma surgery. If laser surgery is used, it generally costs over 1,000 yuan. If a filtering surgery is performed, it usually costs around 4,000 yuan. Traditional Chinese medicine is safe, effective, and requires lower costs.
