Patient's question:
My son has never been good at practicing, and there's nothing we can do about it. He spends most of his day playing on his phone and computer. Recently, he said his eyes hurt, and sometimes they would suddenly tear up. We took him to an ophthalmology hospital for a thorough examination, and they said it was glaucoma. Is juvenile glaucoma treatable?Doctor's answer:
The main treatment for glaucoma is to reduce or control intraocular pressure. Generally, different medications are used to lower the pressure, and it is ensured that the effective dosage is maintained within 24 hours. If the pressure cannot be controlled even with the maximum medication dosage, surgical treatment can be considered. It is recommended that you take your child to the ophthalmology department for a thorough examination as soon as possible to detect and treat the condition early. Maintain good daily habits and pay attention to eye hygiene.
