Patient's question:
I am a student, and my eyesight is always unclear. Even after getting glasses, things remain blurry. Yesterday, an elderly person told me that I might have neovascular glaucoma. The person is from a family that has been practicing medicine for generations. Upon hearing this, I felt very upset. I want to know if this condition is treatable? Can it be completely cured instantly?Doctor's answer:
Neovascular glaucoma is primarily characterized by the growth of new blood vessels into the iris, leading to elevated intraocular pressure and a recurrence of vision loss. It requires careful diagnosis through learning and other examinations. Moreover, the vision loss caused by neovascular glaucoma cannot be fully restored. The main treatment method is surgical intervention, but this is also a destructive procedure that cannot stabilize vision and may further cause vision deterioration, with the eye gradually swelling.
