Patient's question:
Glaucoma for 5 years. Already blind. Can I see the light again?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Glaucoma-induced optic nerve damage is irreversible. Once vision is lost, it cannot be restored. Therefore, the most crucial goal of treating glaucoma is to control intraocular pressure, prevent optic nerve damage, and prevent further deterioration of vision and visual field. If only one eye is blind, it is recommended that the relatively better eye should have its intraocular pressure controlled and undergo regular examinations. Even in the early stages of clinical diagnosis, when there are no symptoms, regular checks of intraocular pressure and visual field are necessary for early prevention of the disease.
