Questions
What medications do glaucoma patients use? What precautions should be taken if one has glaucoma?
Answers
Glaucoma is categorized into acute angle-closure glaucoma and chronic glaucoma, among others. Patients mainly use medication to control intraocular pressure and undergo treatments such as nutritional nerve therapy. The main surgical method is trabeculectomy. The clinical diagnosis of glaucoma is characterized by a series of symptoms caused by increased intraocular pressure, such as nausea, dry heaves, headache, and eye pain. Patients with a history of hypertension or diabetes should pay attention to regular check-ups and medication adherence. Post-operative patients should ensure adequate rest, maintain a light diet, and regularly apply eye drops to keep the periorbital area clean.
