What should I do about glaucoma in the left eye?

Patient's question:

The child usually likes to play electronic products. Moreover, besides lying down to write yesterday, I was worried she might develop myopia, so I took her to the hospital for an eye check-up. The doctor said the child doesn't have myopia, but she does have glaucoma in her left eye. I want to know what to do about glaucoma? Will it affect daily exercise?

Doctor's answer:

Glaucoma can cause symptoms such as eye pain, nausea, vomiting, and severe vision loss. It can be diagnosed through a careful eye pressure check. It is recommended to initially use miotic eye drops and combine them with mannitol intravenous infusion to lower blood pressure and control the condition. If the treatment is ineffective, a trabeculectomy may be performed.
Failing to actively treat it can affect daily activities and may even lead to blindness. The condition is relatively severe, requiring active treatment in accordance with medical advice. There is no specific cure to alleviate it.
