Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. My husband is 31 years old this year and works as a programmer. He often works in front of the computer every day for a long time. Yesterday, he told me that his eyes were uncomfortable. I searched for information and suspected that he might have glaucoma. How is chronic angle-closure glaucoma treated?Doctor's answer:
Glaucoma usually has high intraocular pressure, and medication to lower the pressure may be needed to normalize it. Then, surgery to treat glaucoma may be required. Glaucoma is also prone to recurrence, so during treatment, it's important to strictly follow the doctor's instructions regarding medication and undergo regular follow-up check-ups. However, his eyes are currently uncomfortable, which may just be due to excessive eye strain or mild eye inflammation. It is recommended to use anti-inflammatory medication first for treatment. If it doesn't work, then seek further medical advice.
