Patient's question:
Glaucoma eye pressure causes eye pain and blurred vision when it occurs, and it has been going on for many years. Now, the vision is very poor. Currently, pilocarpine eye drops are being used, but the effect is not good. Can glaucoma be treated with laser?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Glaucoma is an eye disease characterized by intermittent or sustained elevated intraocular pressure. Persistent high intraocular pressure can cause damage to various parts of the eye and visual function. If not treated promptly, it can lead to complete loss of vision and blindness. Night blindness refers to the inability to see or see clearly in the dark, which is caused by a lack of vitamin A. For glaucoma, it can potentially lead to vision loss. In terms of lifestyle, it is advisable to maintain a light diet, consume more vegetables and fruits, and keep bowel movements regular. Avoid spicy, greasy foods, alcohol, strong tea, coffee, and other beverages that can raise intraocular pressure. Control the total daily water intake and the amount of water consumed at one time. Generally, no more than 250 milliliters of water should be consumed at one time, and the total daily water intake should not exceed 2000 milliliters. Excessive water intake can cause elevated intraocular pressure.
