Question
Hello, doctor. My grandfather is 78 years old and has glaucoma. He can’t see things at night and things are hazy even during the day. I want to ask the doctor, how does one know if glaucoma requires surgery? What kind of food is good for quick recovery from glaucoma?
Answer
If your grandfather, who is 78 years old, has glaucoma, it is very dangerous. If surgery is possible, it is recommended to choose surgical treatment. For dietary recommendations for glaucoma patients, it is suggested to maintain a light diet, avoiding the intake of high-calorie and fried foods. Eat more vegetables and fruits and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Additionally, patients need to develop regular sleep habits and good living habits, persist in treatment and adhere to a light diet, do more aerobic exercises. This will help improve their immune system and reduce the risk of illness.
