Patient's question:
Male, 21 years old. When I was a child, I didn't know any better and stayed up playing computer games every day. Maybe that's when my eyes got damaged. Last year, it was detected that there was something abnormal. Now, I feel very uncomfortable every day. Please ask: How is it best to treat glaucoma and cataracts?Doctor's answer:
Types of glaucoma and some causes of its onset vary, so treatment plans differ. The main goal of treatment is to lower intraocular pressure through medication or glaucoma surgery to prevent vision loss. In the early stages of cataracts, surgery may not be necessary; eye drops can be used to slow the progression of cataracts. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions to receive targeted treatment and recover quickly.
