Patient's question:
My child felt nauseous and vomited as soon as she went to bed this morning. She also said her forehead and eye sockets were particularly painful. I quickly took her to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the result was that she had acute glaucoma. I would like to ask the doctor, how is glaucoma treated? What treatment method is the most effective?Doctor's answer:
In the early stage of glaucoma, it is necessary to use miotic eye drops such as pilocarpine, and they should be combined with mannitol infusion for blood pressure reduction treatment. If the above methods are ineffective, trabeculectomy should be performed. Afterward, attention should be paid to eye hygiene, preventing excessive eye strain, and maintaining a positive and optimistic attitude while learning to vent negative emotions. Generally, the treatment of glaucoma is quite stubborn, and lack of active treatment can lead to deafness, making it very difficult to cure.
