What are the prevention and treatment of glaucoma?

Patient's question:

My father really likes reading. Since he retired, he's almost always holding a book. Maybe that's putting more strain on his eyes. On top of that, he has a bit of a temper and sometimes gets so angry that his blood pressure drops. Just to be safe, I'd like to ask about the prevention and treatment of glaucoma.

Doctor's answer:

Currently, there is no specific preventive measure that can prevent patients with glaucoma from experiencing it again. For patients with glaucoma, it is generally necessary to follow the principle of early detection and early treatment to implement treatment. Currently, most patients with glaucoma can be treated using medication. If the patient's condition is severe, surgical treatment can be used.
