Patient's question:
A while ago, I was diagnosed with glaucoma and have been undergoing treatment ever since. Is glaucoma easy to treat?Doctor's answer:
The treatment methods for glaucoma mainly fall into three categories: drug therapy, laser therapy, and surgical therapy. It is generally believed that drug therapy is the traditional initial treatment method for primary open-angle glaucoma. Laser therapy is also a type of surgical therapy and is now widely recognized as a glaucoma treatment method that falls between drug therapy and filtration surgery. Different types of lasers can be chosen based on the type of glaucoma, and it is generally recommended to be performed in the early stages of the disease.
