Patient's question:
Diagnosed with glaucoma for a while now, I'd like to ask if glaucoma is easy to treat?Doctor's answer:
Glaucoma is a common eye disease. First, go to the outpatient clinic for the corresponding tests: such as intraocular pressure, visual field, 24-hour dynamic intraocular pressure, dynamic fundus photography (to observe the damage of optic nerve fibers), and, if necessary, provocative tests, gonioscopy, and fundus changes. Confirm the diagnosis, whether it is open-angle glaucoma or closed-angle glaucoma. It can be certain that glaucoma can be treated.Guidelines:
Treatment methods for glaucoma: 1. Medication, eye drops (to lower intraocular pressure), oral medication. 2. Laser treatment, open-angle. 3. Surgical treatment. In short, it depends on the classification.
