Patient's question:
The child was born not long ago, and their eyes always tear up, and they always like to cry. How should angle-closure glaucoma be treated?Doctor's answer:
Open-angle glaucoma is generally caused by a decrease in intraocular pressure. The early symptoms are not obvious, and patients usually go to the hospital for a thorough examination only when they have difficulty seeing. By then, it is already in the middle or late stages, and the best time for treatment has been missed. At this point, the treatment effect is not very good, and it is very likely to lead to serious complications such as deafness. In terms of treatment, medication to reduce intraocular pressure is generally used, and surgery is usually required in the late stages.
