Patient's question:
Diagnosed with glaucoma for a while now, I want to ask if glaucoma is easy to treat?Doctor's answer:
Glaucoma is a common ophthalmic disease. First, undergo the corresponding examinations in the outpatient department: such as intraocular pressure, visual field, 24-hour dynamic intraocular pressure, dynamic fundus photography (to observe damage to the optic nerve fibers), and, if necessary, provocative tests, gonioscopy, and fundus changes. Confirm the diagnosis, whether it is open-angle glaucoma or closed-angle glaucoma. It can be certain that glaucoma can be treated.Guidelines:
Treatment methods for glaucoma:
1. Medication, eye drops (to lower intraocular pressure), oral medication.
2. Laser treatment, for open-angle glaucoma.
3. Surgical treatment. In summary, the treatment is determined based on the classification.
