Patient's question:
Doctor, I would like to consult you. Can sunflower seed water cure glaucoma? My grandmother is 66 years old and has had glaucoma for a long time. Recently, she heard that sunflower seed water can treat it. I want to ask, is this true? Besides, are there any other methods to treat glaucoma?Doctor's answer:
The sunflower water you mentioned cannot treat glaucoma. Glaucoma requires proper and timely treatment. The principle of treating this disease is to control intraocular pressure within the normal range. It is necessary to promptly visit an ophthalmology department for eye examinations, including fundus examinations, thorough anterior chamber angle examinations, slit lamp examinations, and intraocular pressure measurements. This helps diagnose the type of glaucoma, followed by targeted medication and treatment.
