How exactly does glaucoma occur?

Patient's question:

Hello, that's the situation. I'd like to ask a few questions about ophthalmology. What is glaucoma? How do you get glaucoma? Generally, what should we do to take care of our eyes in daily life to avoid getting this disease? Besides, if we do get this disease, what should we pay attention to? Are there any good methods?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the incidence of glaucoma is increasing and it affects people from infants to the elderly to a certain extent. The causes of glaucoma are relatively complex, and factors that cause a decrease in eye pressure are numerous. Lifestyle factors are key, such as excessive eye use, emotional overexertion, and abnormal diet, which are all related. It is recommended to pay attention to regulating your eyes and avoid long-term eye fatigue. After turning off the lights at night, do not use your phone. Also, maintain a pleasant mood and avoid excessive irritability. Long-term constipation may also lead to glaucoma.
