Question
I’ve always had blurry vision from a young age and had to wear glasses early on. After spending a long time looking at the computer, my eyes feel puffy and painful. When I suddenly move from indoors to outdoors, I find it hard to open my eyes, and I’m sensitive to light and tear up in the wind. How is congenital glaucoma treated?
Answer
Congenital glaucoma is present at birth. If you experience symptoms such as eye swelling and pain again, it may be related to increased intraocular pressure. For the treatment of congenital glaucoma, it is recommended to decide on surgical treatment methods. In addition, it is necessary to control the intraocular pressure with medication, such as using drugs to lower eye pressure, which should be administered before surgery. Combining medication with surgery is generally more effective.
