How is glaucoma treated?

Patient's question:

Recently, I found out that I have glaucoma. I want to ask how to treat glaucoma?

Doctor's answer:

Glaucoma is mostly incurable, but with proper treatment, the condition can be effectively controlled. If well-managed, it may even prevent serious damage throughout life. Therefore, the key to treating glaucoma lies in early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment. The vast majority of patients can maintain useful vision for life, avoiding blindness. Current treatment measures are becoming increasingly refined. If the disease is detected early and patients actively seek treatment while following their doctors' advice for regular check-ups, the condition can usually be effectively controlled, and some patients may even avoid vision loss for life.
