Whether glaucoma patients need to use eye drops for life depends on the severity of their condition and treatment response. In some cases, surgery can effectively control intraocular pressure, thereby reducing or eliminating the need for medication. However, each individual’s situation is unique, so it’s best to follow the advice and treatment plan of an ophthalmologist. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as regular work and rest, avoiding overexertion, and reducing stress, can also help control the progression of glaucoma. If there are any questions or concerns, it’s important to communicate with your doctor promptly.
