Patient's question:
The child was born not long ago, and their eyes always tear up, and they also love to cry. Please ask what is the first choice of medicine for primary angle-closure glaucoma.Doctor's answer:
Angle-closure glaucoma is characterized by open angles. When using hypotensive medications, prostaglandin derivatives such as latanoprost are essential. Alternatively, β-adrenergic receptor blockers like timolol can be selected. These drugs can effectively reduce intraocular pressure, thereby reducing the harm high intraocular pressure poses to the optic nerve. If the effectiveness of medication in lowering intraocular pressure for glaucoma is not significant, surgery may be considered for treatment.
