Patient's question:
Doctor, I got glaucoma in 2008. I didn't go to the hospital for treatment, just used some eye drops and similar things at home. Later, I found it getting worse, and when I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, they diagnosed it as uveitic glaucoma. Hello. What is uveitis-related glaucoma?Doctor's answer:
Inflammatory glaucoma is a type of secondary glaucoma, with the majority of cases caused by severe inflammation. It is recommended that you visit an ophthalmology hospital for treatment. Seek detailed advice from your doctor, undergo physical examinations and additional tests, and consider surgical treatment. Pay attention to rest and maintain a balanced diet in daily life to prevent excessive fatigue and overuse of your eyes. Pay special attention to recovery after surgery. If uveitis is not treated promptly, it may lead to iris adhesion, affect aqueous humor circulation, and also cause the inflammatory glaucoma you mentioned.
