Question
Hello doctor, I would like to ask you about high eye pressure. I am 34 years old and I had a thorough physical examination at the hospital. The doctor said I have a bit of high eye pressure and asked if I should be treated for it. I want to know if high eye pressure is the same as glaucoma?
Answer
High eye pressure may indicate glaucoma, as one clinical feature of glaucoma is high eye pressure. However, high eye pressure alone does not confirm the presence of glaucoma; further detailed examinations are required for an accurate diagnosis. If diagnosed with glaucoma, surgery is often needed to lower the eye pressure. Additionally, during treatment, it is important to maintain a light diet and a positive mood. Only a good attitude and sufficient sleep can help you recover quickly.
