Patient's question:
My nephew, now 8 years old, was found to have a mass in his eye at home. He has difficulty seeing, high intraocular pressure, but no pain. It's hard to notice unless you pay attention, but the disease hasn't been diagnosed yet.Doctor's answer:
The child's symptoms are not ruled out as being caused by high intraocular pressure, and high intraocular pressure can easily trigger glaucoma. It is best to start with medication treatment. Use acetazolamide, timolol maleate eye drops, and pilocarpine eye drops for treatment. If the intraocular pressure cannot be controlled even at the maximum medication dosage, surgical treatment can be considered.
