Question
How to effectively treat glaucoma?
Answer
The treatment of glaucoma primarily involves lowering or controlling intraocular pressure and promoting the outflow of aqueous humor. For primary open-angle glaucoma, medications such as timolol or betaxolol are typically used to suppress aqueous humor production; if medication control is not effective, then consider using miotic agents like pilocarpine to increase the outflow of aqueous humor through the trabecular meshwork. For primary angle-closure glaucoma, surgical treatment is usually recommended.
