Patient's question:
The child was born not long ago, and their eyes always tear up, and they always cry a lot. Please ask if hot or cold compress surgery for glaucoma can treat it?Doctor's answer:
Hello, glaucoma is an eye condition caused by the obstruction of aqueous humor circulation, leading to elevated intraocular pressure, which can result in damage to the optic nerve. Cold compresses and cold application methods are ineffective in treating glaucoma. Cold compresses and cold application are not recommended. The primary treatment methods involve medication and surgical intervention. For acute angle-closure glaucoma, timely laser treatment or surgical intervention is necessary to control intraocular pressure.
