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 identify the specific type of glaucoma, as well as the levels of intraocular pressure and the degree of open angles, 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 filtration surgery is performed, it usually costs around 4,000 yuan. Traditional Chinese medicine is safe, effective, and has low costs.
