Patient's question:
A while ago, I went to the hospital for a physical examination. The doctor said I might have glaucoma. Could you please tell me what causes glaucoma?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is recommended for glaucoma patients to first visit the hospital for intraocular pressure reduction treatment to see if it works. If not, I suggest undergoing surgical treatment for better results. Glaucoma patients should follow a light diet, consume more vegetables and fruits, and maintain regular bowel movements. Avoid spicy, greasy foods, alcohol, strong tea, coffee, and other beverages that can increase intraocular pressure. Control the total daily water intake and the amount of water consumed at one time. Generally, no more than 250 milliliters of water should be consumed at once, and the total daily water intake should not exceed 2,000 milliliters. Excessive water intake can lead to increased intraocular pressure.
