Patient's question:
Doctor, hello, I would like to ask you a question. My child recently said her eyes are not feeling well, so I took her to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said she has glaucoma, which scared me. I don't know what to do, so I wanted to ask you, what should I do if my child has glaucoma?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, it seems that if infants or young children develop glaucoma, it could be caused by hereditary factors across generations, leading to congenital glaucoma. Therefore, it is recommended to go to a formal ophthalmology hospital for a comprehensive and thorough examination to determine the cause of the child's glaucoma and provide symptomatic treatment. Please do not self-medicate at home, and also avoid excessive panic, as the condition may still have the potential to resolve on its own.
