Patient's question:
My grandfather is getting older now, and his vision is becoming increasingly unclear. The doctor said he has glaucoma, so what medications should he avoid with glaucoma?Doctor's answer:
According to the concerns, glaucoma should be used with caution as it has certain anticholinergic effects, can lower intraocular pressure, and alleviate the condition of glaucoma patients. Therefore, it should be used cautiously. It is known that for eye-related diseases, it is better to treat them from other aspects rather than blindly taking medication. Sometimes, taking too many medications does not yield good results. Many medications have been taken without much improvement. First and foremost, we must understand in our daily lives that we should not consume too many spicy foods, avoid cooking near smoke, and wear protective eyewear more often, avoiding looking at small objects. We should also avoid consuming foods. Only in this way can we achieve good treatment results. We should not overexert ourselves, get adequate sleep, and maintain a good mood.
