Patient's question:
My sister has a child who has been diagnosed with glaucoma at our city hospital. The doctor said one eye is already useless, and the other eye is uncertain whether it can be treated. I want to ask, how is glaucoma treated?Doctor's answer:
Currently, surgical treatment is the last and only important means in Western medicine for treating glaucoma. The purpose of the surgery is to better control intraocular pressure, actively pursue early and effective treatment, and strive to minimize damage to visual function. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to eye hygiene and protect the eyes. Avoid reading under strong light, staying in dark rooms for too long, and ensure that the light is sufficient and soft. Do not overuse the eyes. Avoid smoking, alcohol, strong tea, and coffee. Appropriately control water intake, not exceeding 1000-1200ml per day, and do not drink more than 400ml at a time.
