Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to ask if high intraocular pressure is glaucoma? I am currently 34 years old. I went to the hospital for a comprehensive examination, but the doctor said I have slightly high intraocular pressure and asked if I should be treated? I want to ask if high intraocular pressure is the same as glaucoma?Doctor's answer:
High intraocular pressure may indicate glaucoma. A clinical diagnostic feature of glaucoma is high intraocular pressure, but it cannot be solely diagnosed based on this alone. Additional careful examinations in various aspects are necessary to confirm the diagnosis. If it is glaucoma, surgery is generally required to address the condition effectively, which can significantly reduce intraocular pressure. In addition to treatment, it is important to maintain a light diet and a relaxed mood. Only with a positive mindset and adequate sleep can you quickly recover from the illness.
