Question

How to solve the problem of glaucoma?

Answer

The issue of glaucoma is particularly urgent. Here’s a quick explanation: Starting from December 21, 2011, I experienced pain in my left eye, followed by swelling on the 23rd. The hospital examination showed normal fundus and slit lamp findings. The intraocular pressure was 17 in the left eye and 12 in the right eye (the swelling and pain had basically subsided, but discomfort remained). On the 24th, the intraocular pressure was 15 in the left eye and 14 in the right eye. From the 26th, there was a slight pain on both sides of the bridge of my nose. On the 27th, the visual field was normal, with intraocular pressure at 21 in the left eye and 17 in the right eye. To this day, both eyes still feel uncomfortable, with pain near the inner corner of my eyes and discomfort in the upper and lower orbits, not sure exactly where the discomfort is coming from. Today, the intraocular pressure was 22 in the left eye and 21 in the right eye. The doctor said that the fundus was different from that of a normal person. How high does intraocular pressure need to be before using antihypertensive eye drops? How long can antihypertensive eye drops be used? How many treatment courses? How long is each course?
