Patient's question:
Doctor, after my husband went to bed today, when I saw his eyes, I was instantly stunned. Because his eyes had turned blue and were glowing with a blue light. Doctor, the white part of his eyes had turned blue, is this glaucoma?Doctor's answer:
The white of the eye turning blue does not necessarily indicate glaucoma symptoms. Glaucoma can cause symptoms such as eye pain, nausea, vomiting, and blurred vision. It is necessary to conduct a thorough eye pressure examination for diagnosis. If left untreated in the early stages, it may lead to deafness. It is recommended to use miotic eye drops and (mannitol) for blood pressure control treatment. If the treatment is ineffective, trabeculectomy may be performed.However, if the eyes appear blue, a brain MRI should be conducted to rule out the possibility of a brain hemorrhage or inflammation.
