Patient's question:
A while ago, I was diagnosed with glaucoma and have been undergoing treatment ever since. Is glaucoma easy to treat?Doctor's answer:
The treatment methods for glaucoma mainly fall into three categories: drug treatment, laser treatment, and surgical treatment. It is generally believed that drug treatment is the traditional initial treatment method for primary open-angle glaucoma. Laser treatment is also a type of surgical treatment, and it is now widely recognized as a glaucoma treatment method that falls between drug treatment and filtration surgery. Different types of lasers can be selected based on the type of glaucoma, and it is generally advisable to use them in the early stages of the disease.
