Patient's question:
I am a glaucoma patient. I have been suffering from glaucoma for nearly two years. In the past few days, I feel that my glaucoma has slightly flared up, and I plan to buy many other brands of medicine to use. So, I would like to ask what medications are commonly used for glaucoma patients? What should be noted when diagnosed with glaucoma?Doctor's answer:
Glaucoma is divided into acute angle-closure glaucoma and chronic glaucoma, among others. Glaucoma patients primarily use medication to control intraocular pressure and treat nerve nutrition. Surgical methods mainly include trabeculectomy. The main clinical diagnostic characteristics of glaucoma are a series of symptoms caused by elevated intraocular pressure, such as nausea, vomiting, headache, and eye pain. Patients with hypertension or diabetes should pay attention to regular follow-up checks and medication. After surgery, patients should rest, maintain a light diet, administer eye drops on schedule, and keep the eye area clean at all times.
