Patient's question:
My son suffers from congenital glaucoma. Due to his young age, he had not undergone surgery until recently. A few weeks ago, he had the surgery, but recently he mentioned that his eyes feel uncomfortable. I took him to a pediatric hospital for a check-up, and they said his eye pressure is high. Therefore, I would like to consult a doctor about what to do if eye pressure remains high after glaucoma surgery.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, it appears that you have high intraocular pressure after glaucoma surgery. This may be due to postoperative local edema. In such cases, it is recommended to visit a hospital promptly for a thorough examination. Based on the examination results, medication to lower intraocular pressure should be used for treatment. During daily life, proper postoperative care should be ensured, and a diet rich in vitamins should be consumed.
