Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 35 years old this year and have been pregnant for three months. I would like to ask if glaucoma can be inherited across generations. I recently had a check-up and found that I have glaucoma, and I am a bit worried that this disease might be inherited to my child. Please help me clarify this! Thank you very much!Doctor's answer:
Glaucoma has a hereditary factor across generations, but not necessarily everyone will experience glaucoma again. This is a matter of chance and probability. It's important to pay attention to regular and thorough check-ups, such as prenatal examinations, and to carefully observe symptoms. Regular eye pressure and fundus examinations should also be conducted. In summary, early detection and early treatment are key, so it's essential to be attentive and observant in daily life.
