How long after the onset should acute glaucoma surgery be performed?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I am a 36-year-old male. I would like to ask you, how long after the recurrence is it best to perform acute glaucoma surgery? I have been feeling uncomfortable with my eyes recently, and after a thorough examination at the hospital, they said I have acute glaucoma.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it has been detected that you have acute glaucoma. In the future, if your intraocular pressure is controlled normally, it is usually necessary to have a thorough examination of the anterior chamber angle. The decision on whether surgery can be performed or if it is needed should be based on the specific condition of the anterior chamber angle, rather than the recurrence time. Therefore, it is best to follow the doctor's advice and undergo regular follow-up examinations at the hospital. Consider using eye drops to lower intraocular pressure or surgical treatment.
