Patient's question:
I am 28 years old, male. Recently, my eyes have been swollen and painful, and they often tear up. The hospital conducted a thorough examination and said I have glaucoma. What are the hazards of glaucoma?Doctor's answer:
Using glaucoma medication, the medication mainly refers to eye drops, although there are also oral medications and intravenous infusions, which are all temporary and not suitable for long-term use. From the current medical perspective, glaucoma cannot be cured, and no medication can do so. Medications primarily aim to lower intraocular pressure. Oral medications and intravenous infusions are now not suitable for long-term use. Medication treatment mainly involves eye drops to lower intraocular pressure. There are many methods for treating the disease, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment approach also differs. Therefore, patients need to seek professional medical evaluation as soon as possible for detailed testing to prescribe the correct medication.
