How should secondary glaucoma in children be treated?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello. My son is four years old this year. I felt something was wrong with his eyes a few days ago, but I couldn't put my finger on what the exact cause was. Then I looked up some information and found that my child has secondary glaucoma. How should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Secondary glaucoma refers to glaucoma caused by certain diseases or reasons. Since the child did not have any other eye conditions before, the situation you mentioned may not necessarily indicate this disease. For a four-year-old child experiencing discomfort in their eyes again, it is recommended to visit an ophthalmology department in the hospital promptly. Through refractive tests, slit lamp examinations, and intraocular pressure measurements, the specific condition can be confirmed, followed by targeted treatment.
