Question
My grandmother is 66 years old and has been suffering from glaucoma. She recently heard that boiling sunflower water can treat it, and I want to ask if this is true. Are there any other treatments for glaucoma besides this method?
Answer
I’m sorry, but boiling sunflower water does not treat glaucoma. Glaucoma needs to be controlled through formal and timely treatment to bring the intraocular pressure within the normal range. The treatment principle for such diseases involves medication or surgical treatment specific to the type of glaucoma. Before starting any treatment, it is recommended that your grandmother visit an ophthalmology hospital as soon as possible for a detailed examination, including fundus examination, anterior chamber angle examination, slit lamp examination, and intraocular pressure measurement, in order to diagnose the condition and receive appropriate treatment advice.
