High intraocular pressure. How is glaucoma treated?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello! Due to my discomfort in my eyes and some blurred vision, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination a few days ago. The doctor said my eye pressure is a bit high, and I have glaucoma. I would like to ask the expert, how is high eye pressure and glaucoma treated? Thank you very much!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if you are always under high pressure, it is best to quickly implement emergency intraocular pressure reduction. When experiencing acute recurrence, intravenous medication is generally considered, along with the local use of antihypertensive eye drops. Usually, a combination of several eye drops is used to lower intraocular pressure. If the control is ineffective, further consideration should be given to glaucoma surgery. Therefore, it is recommended to have regular medical examinations and diagnoses at the hospital.
