Patient's question:
Can angle-closure glaucoma be cured? Bilateral type, discovered 3 years ago, visual field doubled, normal intraocular pressure. Anesthesia and medication for the optic nerve, hospitalized twice, using drugs like gentamycin eye drops. Can I be cured?Doctor's answer:
Whether it's surgery or medication, your goal is to lower intraocular pressure to a safe level. Reducing intraocular pressure to a safe level helps maintain current vision. The main treatments include medication, laser therapy, and surgical treatment, which can be used in combination. For cases with significant damage to the optic nerve and visual field, active surgical treatment and additional nerve protection treatment are recommended. In addition to lowering intraocular pressure, optic nerve protection therapy also emphasizes more direct nerve protection therapy, especially for primary open-angle glaucoma.
