Patient's question:
Right now, my right eye always feels very blurry, as if it's a bit foggy. Sometimes my eyes also feel a bit puffy and painful. When I'm sad, I get headaches. Someone told me this might be glaucoma, and it's hard to treat. So, am I going to become blind? I really want to cry. I don't want to be a person anymore. Is this glaucoma? Please help me think of a solution, doctor.Doctor's answer:
First, the diagnosis of glaucoma requires thorough examinations conducted in specialized hospitals, including intraocular pressure measurement, slit-lamp examination, fundus examination, and visual field testing. Whether it is glaucoma, it can be easily confirmed with a check at a specialized hospital. Secondly, glaucoma can be treated and is not as frightening as you might think. In clinical practice, additional treatments can be provided based on different stages of glaucoma, including laser surgery, eye drops to lower intraocular pressure, etc. In the case you mentioned, it is recommended to undergo further examinations at a specialized hospital.
