Patient's question:
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, has a normal appetite, and shows no significant abnormalities, but sometimes they experience tremors. What should be done if optic atrophy occurs after glaucoma surgery?Doctor's answer:
Glaucoma is caused by long-term high intraocular pressure. If it is not well-controlled, high intraocular pressure can cause irreversible damage to the optic nerve. Therefore, even after surgery, if the intraocular pressure control is still relatively good, the previously damaged optic nerve cannot recover to normal. So the current priority is to protect the remaining function of the optic nerve. It is necessary to have regular check-ups at the hospital to monitor intraocular pressure and pay attention to rest during daily life.
