Patient's question:
Does glaucoma always require surgery? Lately, things have been gradually getting darker, and now it's completely black in front of my eyes, with no light at all. However, with strong light, I can still see a small spot. I also have tinnitus and nausea. I was diagnosed with glaucoma. I'm very worried about this condition. How can glaucoma be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Glaucoma is a typical psychosomatic disease. The unhealthy psychological and emotional gaps in glaucoma patients can lead to poor intraocular pressure control. Glaucoma patients need to learn self-regulation, participate in culturally and mentally beneficial activities such as playing musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and listen to beautiful music more often. They should also maintain a broad-minded attitude, avoid emotional excitement, excessive fatigue, extreme joy or sorrow, and strive to be in the best state of a relaxed, carefree, open-minded, and cheerful personality. They can seek professional diagnosis and treatment from specialized hospitals or go to local top-tier hospitals for treatment, paying attention to choosing a treatment method suitable for themselves.
