Patient's question:
Now my eyesight is unclear too. The doctor said it's glaucoma. I want to ask if glaucoma can be treated with laser?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Glaucoma is a disease characterized by intermittent or sustained elevation of intraocular pressure. Persistent high intraocular pressure can cause damage to various parts of the eye and visual function. If not treated promptly, it can lead to complete loss of vision and blindness. Night blindness refers to the inability to see clearly in the dark or at night, which is caused by a lack of vitamin A. For glaucoma, it can lead to vision loss. In terms of daily life, a light diet is recommended, with a focus on consuming more vegetables and fruits while maintaining regular bowel movements. Avoid spicy, greasy foods, alcohol, strong tea, coffee, and other beverages that can increase intraocular pressure. It is important to control the total daily fluid intake and the amount of fluid consumed at one time. Generally, a single intake should not exceed 250 milliliters, and the total daily fluid intake should not exceed 2000 milliliters. Excessive fluid intake can lead to increased intraocular pressure.
