Patient's question:
I have the habit of working overtime while reading novels and playing with my phone. Since elementary school, I've been living in school dormitories, where the lights are turned off at a fixed time every night, and the dormitory supervisor checks for phone use. So, I always hide under the blanket to play. Over time, I developed glaucoma, specifically chronic angle-closure glaucoma. How is it best to treat chronic angle-closure glaucoma?Doctor's answer:
If you have already been diagnosed with chronic angle-closure glaucoma, it is essential to have regular eye pressure checks at the hospital. You will need to use eye drops to lower your eye pressure. Typically, one or two types of eye drops are used first. If the control is not effective, you may need to use a triple combination of eye drops. If this still does not provide sufficient control, surgical treatment may need to be considered. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to rest and ensure adequate deep sleep.
