Patient's question:
Patient age: EighteenEyes are transparent, hot, and painful, with a headache.
Past treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been administered.
What kind of help is desired: What is glaucoma? What are its effects? What are the symptoms?
Doctor's answer:
Glaucoma is a disease that causes damage to the optic nerve. The optic nerve is composed of many nerve fibers, and when intraocular pressure rises, it can lead to damage to these nerve fibers, resulting in visual field defects. Early, mild visual field defects are often difficult to detect. If the optic nerve is severely damaged, it can lead to blindness. Early implementation of thorough glaucoma screening, diagnosis, and treatment is key to preventing optic nerve damage and blindness.
