Patient's question:
I have a relative who is over 60 years old this year and has developed glaucoma. The family is very worried that this disease may cause the elderly to lose their hearing. So, I would like to ask how long it takes to treat glaucoma?Doctor's answer:
This depends on the severity of your glaucoma. Mild symptoms can be treated in a few months, while more severe cases may take up to two years. It is recommended that you seek medical attention as soon as possible for a thorough examination and treatment. Early detection and proper treatment of glaucoma will allow the vast majority of patients to maintain functional vision throughout their lives. The main goal of treatment is to reduce intraocular pressure, minimize eye tissue damage, and protect vision.
