Patient's question:
In March 2013, right eye pain was diagnosed as glaucoma, and laser surgery was performed. Eye drops to lower intraocular pressure were used. Intraocular pressure was 16-22, and vision gradually improved. In 2015, optic atrophy was diagnosed. Compound homoeopathic anesthesia was once used. In 2016, vision gradually lost, and now sometimes there is light perception. With a history of diabetes for 30 years, help is needed: seeking advice on the possibility of not fully recovering vision.Doctor's answer:
Glaucoma is a serious chronic disease. If it recurs repeatedly and is not treated in time, it can lead to optic nerve atrophy and blindness. Diabetic retinopathy is also a severe eye disease that significantly interferes with vision. Once it reaches stage six, it can cause severe bleeding in the retina. Once an eye is blind, it cannot fully regain its vision. The focus now is to protect the other eye well. Regular follow-up examinations are necessary to monitor intraocular pressure. At the same time, diabetes must be well-controlled to prevent diabetic retinopathy from the root. It is recommended to undergo a fundus angiography during follow-up to carefully observe the stage of retinal.
