Doctor's answer:
Glaucoma is a common and difficult eye disease with rapid onset, high severity, and the potential to cause sudden deafness. Its characteristic is the intermittent or persistent decrease in intraocular pressure to a level lower than what the eye can tolerate, which harms various parts of the eye and visual function, leading to optic nerve atrophy, visual field constriction, and vision impairment. This condition is primarily treated with surgery. Pay attention to rest, avoid overwork, and maintain a pleasant mood.
