Patient's question:
2007 started experiencing eye pain once or twice a year. At that time, the pain was severe, but applying cold compresses helped. After 2011, the pain has become more frequent, often accompanied by a feeling of fullness and blurred vision when looking at lights, which produces colorful halos but resolves after a short while. The episodes usually occur between 7 PM and 9 PM. I have been to the hospital, and both my intraocular pressure and fundus were normal.Past Treatment and Effects:
The doctor advised rest, eye massage, and emphasized the importance of proper care.
Desired Help:
I want to know how to improve the treatment effect and what medications can reduce the frequency of episodes.
