How long does late-stage glaucoma usually take to cause blindness?

Patient's question:

The child was born not long ago, and their eyes always tear up, and they always like to cry. Please ask how long it usually takes for late-stage glaucoma to cause blindness.

Doctor's answer:

The time when late-stage glaucoma may recur deafness needs to be determined based on the situation. If active treatment is carried out, the vast majority of patients will never suffer from neurodegeneration. A small number of patients may experience recurrence of neurodegeneration. Glaucoma is primarily a decrease in intraocular pressure, so headaches may recur. Treatment mainly involves surgical treatment and the local use of medication, with regular follow-up examinations.
