Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my grandfather is getting older now, he is 78 years old, and he has glaucoma. He can't see things at night, and he can't see things clearly during the day either. I want to ask the doctor a few questions: When does glaucoma need surgery? What kind of diet helps glaucoma recover quickly?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you suffer from glaucoma, it is very dangerous for your 78-year-old grandfather. If surgery is possible, it is recommended to undergo surgical treatment. In terms of diet for glaucoma, it is essential to maintain a light diet and avoid high-calorie foods. Do not eat fried or greasy foods. You can eat more vegetables and fruits. It is crucial not to consume chili peppers, and spicy, irritating foods should also be avoided. Additionally, patients should develop a regular lifestyle and adhere to treatment while maintaining a light diet and engaging in aerobic exercise. This will help boost the immune system and reduce the risk of illness.
