What should be done about traumatic glaucoma?

Patient's question:

The child was born not long ago, and their eyes always tear up, and they also love to cry. How should we deal with secondary glaucoma caused by trauma?

Doctor's answer:

The condition you mentioned involves secondary glaucoma caused by eye trauma, which can lead to recurring eye pain, vision loss, and even nausea and vomiting. The recurrence of glaucoma can occur anywhere from 1 hour to 30 years after the injury, and it has been ongoing for a long time. Currently, symptomatic treatment is needed, including the use of medications to reduce intraocular pressure or surgical intervention. It is necessary to undergo an ophthalmological examination, including refractive tests and intraocular pressure measurements, for diagnosis.
