Patient's question:
In the past half month, there were two relapses. Examinations and test results: Central depth of right anterior chamber is about 2.66mm, central depth of left anterior chamber is about 2.64mm, high intraocular pressure. Previous treatment and effects: Improved after receiving anti-inflammatory injections. What kind of help is needed: How to treat and prevent.Doctor's answer:
Glaucoma is a difficult eye disease in ophthalmology, characterized by intraocular pressure dropping, leading to optic disc excavation, visual field defects, and ultimately, severe eye disease that can completely cause deafness. Moreover, this deafness is absolutely not self-healable. In clinical diagnosis, the treatment of glaucoma can be divided into three major categories—medication, surgery, and laser—depending on the condition. The true cause of glaucoma is not yet entirely clear, so prevention efforts can only focus on avoiding triggers. Maintaining a regular lifestyle, eating fewer or no dry-heat-inducing foods, quitting smoking and alcohol, avoiding oolong tea, not drinking excessive water, and avoiding allergenic foods are recommended. Eating more vegetables and fruits, keeping a calm mood, and ensuring regular bowel movements should also be maintained.
