Patient's question:
Now I really can't see things clearly. I have been nearsighted for over 200 degrees since before until now. But recently, strangely, I am experiencing headaches and an inability to see things again. I went to the ophthalmology department and saw a doctor. The doctor told me that closed-angle glaucoma might require surgery. I want to know if closed-angle glaucoma can be cured without surgery?Doctor's answer:
Glaucoma is a lifelong disease that cannot be cured, requiring patients to use eye drops to lower intraocular pressure for a long time. In most cases, it can be controlled with medication. In very few cases, patients with severe symptoms may need surgical treatment. The goal of treatment is to protect visual function, preventing vision loss or visual field defects from worsening. In daily life, it is important to use eyes correctly, minimize contact with electronic devices, and spend more time outdoors to boost immunity.
