How is glaucoma formed?

Patient's question:

What will happen when the baby is 9 years old? Later, I learned that he/she got sick. Please ask: How is glaucoma formed?

Doctor's answer:

Glaucoma is an eye disease that causes irreversible damage to the optic nerve and visual field due to elevated intraocular pressure. High intraocular pressure can lead to the expansion of the optic nerve, and the eye may also harden as the condition worsens. If glaucoma is detected, it is recommended to start treatment early to avoid delaying the condition and allowing it to become more severe. In daily life, it is important to maintain a good mood, as a positive attitude can greatly help in the recovery from the disease.
