Patient's question:
Glaucoma eye pressure causes eye pain and blurred vision when it occurs. It has been going on for many years, and now the vision is very poor. Currently, pilocarpine eye drops are being used, but the effect is not good. Can glaucoma 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 potentially lead to vision loss. In terms of daily life, it is advisable to maintain a light diet, consume more vegetables and fruits, and keep bowel movements regular. Avoid spicy, greasy foods, alcohol, strong tea, coffee, and other beverages that can increase intraocular pressure. It is important to control the total daily water intake and the amount of water consumed at one time. Generally, it is recommended not to drink more than 250 milliliters at a time, and the total daily water intake should not exceed 2000 milliliters. Excessive water intake can lead to increased intraocular pressure.
