Patient's question:
Initially, my eyes were just nearsighted, but later they started to see things more and more blurry. After a thorough examination, it was diagnosed as glaucoma. How should I take care of glaucoma on a daily basis?Doctor's answer:
Glaucoma is the third leading cause of blindness. Generally, people over the age of 40 are more prone to glaucoma, and women are more commonly affected than men. The characteristics of glaucoma include elevated intraocular pressure and hardened eye surfaces. Symptoms of the disease include eye pain, blurred vision, and other symptoms. There are many causes of glaucoma, with the most common being stress and nutritional issues. If stress is the primary factor, supplementing with vitamin B can be very beneficial for stabilizing the eyes. Surgery can also be used to treat glaucoma, but it requires careful care to avoid complications. After surgery, it is important to prevent eye fatigue, avoid prolonged downward gaze, take a walk after watching TV for 30 to 60 minutes, or shift your focus, look at more green plants, and gaze into the distance to relieve visual fatigue.
