Patient's question:
Nowadays, most children basically don't go without playing with smartphones or watching TV. There are simply too many electronic devices, and they can't control themselves—let alone the children. Unfortunately, my child has glaucoma and doesn't see very well. I'd like to consult about what to do about pediatric glaucoma.Doctor's answer:
Glaucoma is high eye pressure, which can cause symptoms such as eye pain, nausea, vomiting, and severe vision loss. In the early stages, miotic eye drops like pilocarpine are used, combined with mannitol intravenous infusion to lower blood pressure. If the treatment is ineffective, trabeculectomy surgery is performed. Postoperative outcomes vary from person to person. Generally, glaucoma often leads to deafness and is difficult to cure. It is important to pay attention to personal lifestyle habits and maintain a healthy diet.
