How is glaucoma optic nerve atrophy treated?

Patient's question:

I used to have an intraocular pressure as high as 50, but after being diagnosed with glaucoma by the hospital, I had surgery. Since then, my intraocular pressure has returned to normal. Did you have glaucoma optic nerve atrophy?

Doctor's answer:

Characterized by elevated intraocular pressure, optic nerve atrophy, and visual field defects. In most cases, the primary cause of optic nerve damage is high intraocular pressure, while in a very small number of patients, it occurs again at normal intraocular pressure, known as normal-tension glaucoma. Glaucoma is classified into open-angle glaucoma, closed-angle glaucoma, and congenital glaucoma based on the morphology of the anterior chamber angle and the age of onset. Avoid excessive fatigue.
