Patient's question:
The onset of the illness was two weeks ago. Initially, it started with coughing. After taking Amoxicillin and lung-cleansing syrup, I noticed general weakness and blurred vision in both eyes. On the day of the onset, my right eye almost couldn't see anything. I visited the clinic and was diagnosed with glaucoma. Eye drops (nutrient drops) were prescribed, and after using them for a couple of days, my vision slightly improved, but it remained blurry.Previous Treatment and Effect: After using the eye drops (nutrient drops) for a couple of days, my vision slightly improved, but it remained blurry.
Type of Help Needed: I am nearly 70 years old and have glaucoma. One of my eyes has very blurry vision. Could you please advise if it can be treated?
Doctor's answer:
Glaucoma is directly related to the composition of aqueous humor and its reflux obstruction. Its main characteristic is elevated intraocular pressure. It can be said that long-term elevated intraocular pressure can affect the retina and optic nerve, thereby interfering with vision. There are two methods for treating glaucoma: one is the use of drugs that can dilate the anterior chamber angle, such as pilocarpine eye drops, etc., and atenolol, etc. The other is surgery. Only when intraocular pressure is controlled can deafness be prevented and gradual recovery of treatment be achieved.
