Question
How long can angle-closed glaucoma be managed without losing vision?
Answer
Generally, patients with angle-closed glaucoma can maintain their vision for about twenty years under proper treatment. However, this depends on the severity of the condition and individual health. To avoid adverse consequences, it is recommended to adhere to the doctor’s treatment plan, control the disease, and use medication to lower intraocular pressure. Under medical guidance, medication should be used correctly. If conservative treatment is ineffective, surgery may be considered, and the specific treatment method should be determined based on individual circumstances.
