Can I have surgery for glaucoma and cataracts?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I have been feeling unwell recently and went to the hospital for a check-up where I was diagnosed with this disease. I would like to know if someone with glaucoma and cataracts can have surgery.

Doctor's answer:

Glaucoma and cataracts can both be treated surgically! For glaucoma, if the eye pressure is stable and the visual field and optic nerve are not damaged through conservative treatment, it is possible to have irregular follow-up examinations without the need for surgery! When cataracts progress to a certain extent and interfere with vision or cause complications again, surgical treatment is required! In addition to timely treatment, pediatric patients need to pay attention to maintaining deep sleep throughout their lives. Sufficient deep sleep can help you recover quickly from the disease. I hope the answers above can help you, thank you!
