Question
On May 3, 2011, increased eye pressure resulted in eye pain, and the condition did not improve. How can the symptoms of glaucoma be alleviated?
Answer
Glaucoma is caused by a blockage in the flow of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to increased intraocular pressure. Treatment medications include brinzolamide, latanoprost, timolol, and brimonidine, among others, which should be selected by a doctor based on the individual’s condition. It is important to maintain good eye hygiene, avoid excessive strain, and take regular breaks to alleviate the condition.
