Patient's question:
My mother is getting older and has always been a homemaker, not working much. She loves watching TV when she has nothing to do. During the family video call last week, she told us she often feels her eyes are sore and sometimes tears come out for no reason. Her vision has also become less clear. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, they said it's glaucoma. I'm very worried about my mother's health. Could you please advise on how to deal with glaucoma in the eyes?Doctor's answer:
Glaucoma can cause elevated intraocular pressure again, leading to recurring eye pain, aching eyes, and a sensation of eye strain. If the intraocular pressure is too high, it may cause dizziness, headaches, nausea, and vomiting. Glaucoma is a relatively common eye disease, so it's important to rest and improve sleep, and to avoid working overtime as much as possible. Through careful examination of the fundus, anterior chamber angle examination, visual field tests, and other methods, it can be determined which type of glaucoma is present. Only then can a treatment plan be confirmed.
