Patient's question:
I have severe myopia, and my left eye feels swollen. I have a headache and earache. After a thorough examination at the hospital, my intraocular pressure was found to be high. The doctor suggested a follow-up examination to diagnose glaucoma. Is it certain that glaucoma will cause blindness?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, your problem is related to severe myopia. You may also have glaucoma. The onset may be related to your physical condition or eye fatigue. Rest well, prevent fatigue, and do eye exercises regularly. Always maintain a calm mood, pay attention to proper dietary nutrition. You can consult a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to determine the treatment plan, such as modifying and adding traditional Chinese medicine formulas like An Shen Ding Zhi Wan (Calming Spirit and Pacifying Will Pill) or Fu Ling Shao Yao San (Poria and White Peony Root Powder). For severe pediatric cases, it is recommended to seek immediate medical attention and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or over-the-counter medications, as this may worsen the condition.
