Patient's question:
Last year, my boyfriend went on a self-drive trip to the south. Due to slippery roads in the snow, he had a car accident. Although he was taken to the hospital promptly, he still injured his eye. In the past few months, his vision has deteriorated significantly. The diagnosis is secondary glaucoma. Can traumatic secondary glaucoma be relieved?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it is a condition where elevated intraocular pressure is caused by trauma, and subsequent occurrences involve nerve damage. This situation is not easy to recover from. Elevated intraocular pressure in glaucoma generally requires surgical treatment. For your condition, antihypertensive medications can be used to control it. If it cannot be controlled, surgical treatment is necessary. However, vision loss caused by trauma cannot be restored. It is recommended to consult a local reputable hospital.
