Patient's question:
A while ago, my mother often felt blurred vision, headaches, and a constant feeling of coldness. But recently it has become more severe. When she went to the hospital, they said it was glaucoma and recommended surgery. I'm asking if treatment for glaucoma requires hospitalization?Doctor's answer:
Those who need to be hospitalized! Glaucoma patients should pay attention: Do not drink a large amount of fluids in a short period of time, including beverages, milk, etc.; Some beverages, such as coffee, strong tea, etc., can easily stimulate the nervous system and are not suitable for large quantities. If the patient does not have diabetes, choosing foods high in sugar can increase blood osmotic pressure, accelerate the absorption of intraocular aqueous humor, reduce the production of aqueous humor, and help lower intraocular pressure. Honey is one of the foods with a high sugar content. There are also some foods with diuretic effects, such as red beans, watermelon, loofah, etc., which should be consumed regularly. They play a certain role in preventing the increase of intraocular pressure.Wishing you good health!
