Patient's question:
My baby has been having some unusual eye issues recently. He often says his eyes feel uncomfortable when he looks at things. I took him for a thorough examination, and they said he has glaucoma. So, I would like to ask how to treat glaucoma to make it better?Doctor's answer:
Hello, glaucoma can cause symptoms such as headaches, eye pain, nausea, and vomiting. It can be diagnosed with a careful check of intraocular pressure. In the early stages, it is necessary to use mydriatic eye drops, such as pilocarpine, combined with intravenous mannitol to lower blood pressure. If the medication treatment does not show significant improvement after a period of time, then consideration should be given to undergoing a trabeculectomy. Otherwise, if left untreated, it may lead to retinal damage, which can severely result in deafness.
