Question
My mother is 46 years old. She recently finds it hard to see things clearly and feels very uncomfortable in the presence of strong light. She has had glaucoma surgery before and wants to inquire about how to deal with this situation?
Answer
It is common and effective for glaucoma patients to undergo surgical treatment to control intraocular pressure. Patients should not worry too much. Adjusting the diet, avoiding greasy, cold, spicy, and other irritating foods, and maintaining a stable daily routine can help with care. In addition, some medications can be used in conjunction to adjust and control, theoretically helping the condition. Common medications include pilocarpine, which helps stabilize intraocular pressure.
