Patient's question:
I've been seeing things a bit blurry these past couple of days, so I decided to prepare to go to the hospital for a thorough examination. After the examination at the hospital, the doctor said I have open-angle glaucoma. Hello, does open-angle glaucoma cause deafness?Doctor's answer:
Open-angle glaucoma is primarily caused by high intraocular pressure, and if there are abnormalities in the nerves, it can also lead to the recurrence of glaucoma. In severe cases, it may cause deafness. Therefore, it is essential to follow the doctor's advice and apply ointment appropriately. Blood pressure-lowering medications can also be used for treatment. If the effect is not ideal, surgery can be considered.
