Patient's question:
The child was born not long ago, and their eyes always tear up, and they also love crying a lot. Please ask if there is a self-test for glaucoma.Doctor's answer:
Light may cause blockage of aqueous humor outflow, leading to increased intraocular pressure. Most patients already have abnormal angles at birth, but symptoms such as photophobia, tearing, and eyelid spasms may only appear during adolescence. It is speculated that glaucoma is primarily diagnosed based on symptoms and a series of examinations. During examinations, ophthalmologists use specialized instruments to measure intraocular pressure and inspect the anterior chamber. Additionally, a comprehensive evaluation of the fundus is conducted, making the process relatively complex.
