Question
Male, 21 years old. I often stayed up late playing computer games when I was young, which might have damaged my eyes. Last year, when I had a check-up, I found some abnormalities, and I’ve been feeling uncomfortable every day. Please ask: How can glaucoma and cataracts be treated effectively?
Answer
The treatment methods for glaucoma and cataracts vary depending on the type and cause of the disease. The main goal of treatment is to prevent vision loss through medication to lower eye pressure or anti-glaucoma surgery. In the early stages of cataracts, surgery may not be necessary initially, and eye drops can be used to slow the progression of the cataracts. Symptoms can vary depending on the cause, so patients should visit a regular hospital for a comprehensive examination as soon as possible. This allows for symptomatic treatment based on individual conditions, aiming for early recovery.
