Patient's question:
On May 3, 2011, my eyes were swollen. This condition has not improved, and I am quite worried about my health. My family is also very concerned. What should I do to alleviate my condition?Doctor's answer:
Cause: The cause of glaucoma is due to an increase in the fluid in the anterior chamber between the cornea and the lens, which leads to a decrease in intraocular pressure. Additionally, glaucoma can be caused by internal bleeding in the dog's eye or by the inability of the aqueous humor to circulate properly due to various reasons. There is no specific cure for glaucoma, and treatment is usually managed with medication. Commonly used medications include: Alphagan, Betagan, and Clonidine, among others. The specific medication to use depends on the doctor's choice. In daily life, it is important to maintain a balance between rest and activity, avoid overstraining the eyes, and minimize posture. After browsing, watching TV, or using a computer for 30 minutes to an hour, turn around to take a 10-minute walk or gaze into the distance.
