Patient's question:
Your friend's child is just two years old and still a little baby, but a thorough examination revealed glaucoma. Hello, how is infantile glaucoma specifically treated? What kind of surgery or medication is required?Doctor's answer:
Children may develop glaucoma again, which is generally related to abnormal development of the anterior chamber angle. Glaucoma in children does not respond well to conservative treatment alone, and surgery is required as soon as it is detected. It is necessary to take the child to a larger hospital's ophthalmology department for examinations such as anterior chamber angle examination, slit lamp examination, and intraocular pressure measurement to determine the type of glaucoma. Only then can the treatment plan be confirmed.
