Patient's question:
Grandma has had trouble seeing clearly since this spring. Her eyesight is like that of a blind person. During the day, she can still see some shadows, but at night, she can't see anything. After a thorough examination, the doctor said she has glaucoma. Can glaucoma be cured completely?Doctor's answer:
Glaucoma does not heal completely. Glaucoma is caused by elevated eye pressure, leading to a gradual expansion of the visual field and vision loss. You should seek timely treatment. Being able to preserve your current vision and visual field is already quite good. Prevent it from expanding further. If it worsens severely, it can lead to deafness. Patients with glaucoma are advised to undergo regular follow-up examinations at the hospital. Do not feel that since your eyes don't hurt or feel uncomfortable, you don't need to go to the hospital. A positive mood is very helpful for recovery.
