How to treat glaucoma

Patient's question:

A few weeks ago, I was diagnosed with glaucoma. How is glaucoma treated?

Doctor's answer:

Early-stage glaucoma can undergo iridectomy, while mid-to-late-stage or uncontrolled intraocular pressure cases may require trabeculectomy, glaucoma combined with cataract surgery, etc. Angle-closure glaucoma can also undergo non-penetrating trabeculectomy. Glaucoma patients should avoid excessive emotional tension, anxiety, excitement, or similar emotions. Such emotions can lead to increased intraocular pressure, thereby exacerbating the condition. Daily life should be regular, and a calm mood should be maintained.
