Question
I am 65 years old, and I have noticed that my vision has been getting worse over the past few years. It was only after a thorough check-up at the hospital yesterday that I found out I have glaucoma. Doctor, I have glaucoma. How should I treat it? Do I have to undergo surgery for glaucoma?
Answer
If you are diagnosed with glaucoma and decide on a treatment plan, there are several aspects to consider. Firstly, a common clinical diagnosis involves using pilocarpine to stabilize the eye’s visual function. It is important to pay attention to personal hygiene and rest, and avoid consuming greasy foods. It is not necessary to have surgery; corrective measures can be taken first.
