Patient's question:
Left eye vision is unclear, and it also affects sleep. Yesterday, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told it's glaucoma, and it's not mild either. I'd like to ask, is glaucoma treatable?Doctor's answer:
Hello, having glaucoma is not an incurable disease; it can be cured. Often, many patients worsen the condition due to improper medication use or incorrect treatment, leading to it becoming incurable.Guidelines:
For glaucoma, it is best to start with medication treatment. If the intraocular pressure cannot be controlled even at the maximum medication dosage, surgery can be considered. Begin with low-concentration eye drops and then progress to high-concentration ones. The frequency of administration should be determined based on the effective hypotensive duration of different medications. Most importantly, ensure that the effective medication level is maintained within 24 hours. Eye ointment can be applied before bedtime.
