Patient's question:
I am not nearsighted, and my eyes have always been fine. Recently, I've been feeling that my vision isn't as good as it used to be. I thought it was eye strain from playing on my phone while lying in bed. My vision has been getting weaker, so I went to the hospital to check my eye pressure, and it turned out to be very high. They told me that this condition is glaucoma. How serious is glaucoma?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, it appears that the glaucoma condition is quite severe. If treatment is not implemented, it may lead to blindness in both eyes. It is recommended that surgical treatment for glaucoma should be performed promptly. Medication will not have any significant effect and may delay the progression of the disease. After surgery, it is important to rest more and ensure the eyes receive adequate rest. Avoid overusing your eyes, as this can affect the complete recovery process.
