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. Have you experienced optic nerve atrophy due to glaucoma?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, which is 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.
