Patient's question:
Suffering from glaucoma, treatment history and effectiveness over the past ten years: 4 years ago, surgery was performed. Currently, vision has been deteriorating year by year, and treatment has stopped. What kind of help is needed: Hello, do you have any specialized medications and dietary precautions that need to be taken?Doctor's answer:
The treatment for glaucoma involves reducing or controlling intraocular pressure, forcing aqueous humor to drain out. Therefore, based on the etiology and pathogenesis of glaucoma, either medication or surgical treatment can be chosen. Primary open-angle glaucoma must be treated with medication first, using beta-blockers to suppress aqueous humor production, such as 0.5% timolol and 0.25% betaxolol. Lastly, patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical activity to enhance their immunity and prevent recurrence of the condition.
