Patient's question:
I've been feeling uncomfortable with my eyes for a while, and things have been looking blurry. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, the doctor said I have glaucoma. I'm very worried and would like to understand where the best place to treat glaucoma is? What good suggestions do the doctors have?Doctor's answer:
Glaucoma is caused by high eye pressure, which can lead to symptoms such as eye pain, headaches, nausea, vomiting, and blurred vision. It can be diagnosed through a careful eye pressure check. If left untreated, it can cause optic nerve atrophy and, in severe cases, lead to blindness. It is recommended to initially use miotic eye drops, such as pilocarpine, combined with intravenous mannitol to lower blood pressure. If the treatment is ineffective, trabeculectomy surgery may be performed. In daily life, it is important to pay attention to personal habits and maintain a healthy diet.
