Patient's question:
Doctor, these past few days, my eyes have suddenly become blurry, and they feel dry and itchy. When I look up and down, my eyes also hurt, as if something is controlling them. Today, I've been constantly tearing up. Is this glaucoma?Doctor's answer:
This condition is very similar to glaucoma symptoms. Currently, the best course of action is to visit a hospital for a thorough eye pressure check to determine how high the eye pressure is, and then proceed with diagnosis and treatment. If the eye pressure is normal, it may be related to retinal diseases, as sudden blurred vision can be diagnosed through a fundus angiography. If the eye pressure is high and glaucoma is present, initial treatment involves using miotic eye drops such as pilocarpine. If the treatment is ineffective, a trabeculectomy may be performed.
