Patient's question:
How is glaucoma treated?Doctor's answer:
Glaucoma is an ophthalmic emergency, a disease that can cause eye pain, tearing, redness, a foreign body sensation, and a continuous increase in eye secretions. Once detected, it requires timely treatment, otherwise it can easily damage the optic nerve, leading to irreversible vision loss. Medications to reduce intraocular pressure should be used under the guidance of a doctor, or surgery may be necessary. In daily life, attention should be paid to eye hygiene and avoiding prolonged use of electronic devices.
