How is glaucoma treated?

Patient's question:

Eyes can't see clearly.

Doctor's answer:

Glaucoma is a common blinding eye disease. Clinically, glaucoma is typically characterized by elevated intraocular pressure, optic nerve atrophy, and visual field constriction. Depending on the speed and degree of intraocular pressure elevation during the onset of glaucoma, patients may experience different symptoms. Acute intraocular pressure elevation can cause redness in the eye, rapid vision loss, and may also lead to severe symptoms such as headaches, nausea, and vomiting. Chronic intraocular pressure elevation may show no symptoms, making it difficult for patients to notice, posing significant harm.
