Question
Hello doctor, I’ve been feeling unwell recently and went to the hospital for a check-up. I’ve been diagnosed with this condition. I want to know if I can have surgery for glaucoma and cataracts?
Answer
Glaucoma and cataracts can both be treated with surgery! If the intraocular pressure of the glaucoma is stable, and there is no damage to the field of vision or optic nerve, conservative treatment can be chosen instead of surgery. However, if cataracts affect vision or complications arise, surgery is necessary. For children, in addition to timely treatment, it is also important to maintain sufficient deep sleep in daily life, which is crucial for rapid recovery. I hope these answers are helpful to you, thank you!
