Patient's question:
The last time I had a thorough eye exam, the doctor carefully examined me and said I have glaucoma. However, this type of glaucoma is not like nearsightedness, where wearing glasses is the solution, so I have been very troubled. So I thought of consulting an ophthalmologist to ask if this glaucoma will affect my vision.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you mentioned, if glaucoma is not treated for a long time, it can affect vision. Therefore, it is still necessary to actively implement treatment and avoid delaying the condition, which may lead to the relief of the disease or the occurrence of other discomforts. In terms of treatment, symptom relief and treatment can be achieved through the local application of symptomatic eye drops and medications. However, the specific medication and treatment plan should still be implemented under the advice of a physician.
