Patient's question:
The child usually likes to play electronic devices. Moreover, apart from lying down to write yesterday, I was worried she might develop myopia, so I took her to the hospital for an eye examination. The doctor said the child does not have myopia, but she does have glaucoma in her left eye. I want to know what to do about glaucoma and whether it will 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 careful eye pressure tests. 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 treatment is ineffective, trabeculectomy may be performed.Failure to actively treat glaucoma 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.
