Patient's question:
A while ago, I went to the hospital for a physical examination. The doctor said I might have glaucoma. Could you please tell me what causes glaucoma?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is recommended for glaucoma patients to first visit the hospital for intraocular pressure reduction treatment to see if it works. If not, I suggest undergoing surgical treatment, which is more effective.Glaucoma patients should follow a light diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, and maintain regular bowel movements. Avoid spicy, greasy foods, alcohol, strong tea, coffee, and other beverages that can raise intraocular pressure. Control the total daily water intake and the amount consumed at one time. Generally, no more than 250 milliliters should be drunk at once, and the total daily intake should not exceed 2,000 milliliters. Excessive water intake can lead to elevated intraocular pressure.
