Patient's question:
Congenital glaucoma causes atrophy of the optic nerve. The left eye has some light perception, while the right eye has relatively good vision. The child underwent surgery before the age of 7.Doctor's answer:
Glaucoma with elevated intraocular pressure leads to optic nerve edema, which gradually expands and causes vision loss. This is a common complication of glaucoma. In this case, it is recommended that patients focus on using intraocular pressure-lowering medications after glaucoma surgery to reduce intraocular pressure to the lowest possible level. This can help reduce the impact on the optic nerve and slow the progression of optic nerve atrophy. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
