Why do people get glaucoma?

Patient's question:

The child was born not long ago, and their eyes always tear up, and they always cry a lot. Please ask why they might have glaucoma?

Doctor's answer:

Emotional shock factors: Emotional shock factors are also common causes of glaucoma. This is mainly because being anxious, angry, or mentally stimulated can easily lead to elevated intraocular pressure, which in turn can cause glaucoma.
Refractive factors: Refractive factors are also contributing causes of glaucoma, particularly for individuals with refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and presbyopia.
Eye usage issues: Incorrect eye usage, especially over a long period, can also lead to the recurrence of glaucoma. For example, prolonged use of a smartphone in dim lighting can easily result in myopia and astigmatism.
