How are glaucoma patients treated?

Patient's question:

The child was born not long ago, and their eyes always tear up, and they always cry a lot. How is glaucoma treated?

Doctor's answer:

Glaucoma is high intraocular pressure, an irreversible eye disease. In the early stages, it is often overlooked due to lack of obvious symptoms. By the late stage of the disease, vision has already suffered irreversible loss, which is why glaucoma is often called the thief of sight. Since medication is not effective, it is necessary to make a decision quickly to adopt laser treatment or surgical intervention, and not to delay any longer.
