Patient's question:
Hello, I have glaucoma, and one of my eyes has poor vision. The effect of oral antihypertensive drugs is not good. The doctor recommended adopting photocoagulation treatment. How is this surgery performed?Doctor's answer:
Uncontrolled intraocular pressure with refractory glaucoma is difficult to manage with antihypertensive medications alone, which can lead to obvious symptoms such as eye pain. In such cases, ciliary body photocoagulation can destroy the ciliary body, increase aqueous humor production, control intraocular pressure, and reduce eye pain. Please visit a local standard tertiary hospital for a thorough examination. After confirming the cause, the doctor will provide targeted treatment to achieve better results and more reasonable costs.
