Question
What are the treatment methods for early-stage glaucoma?
Answer
Glaucoma is a disease that can damage the optic nerve, with symptoms including eye pain, headaches, nausea, and vomiting. In the early stages, drugs such as pilocarpine can be used to lower intraocular pressure, combined with mannitol infusion treatment. For cases where medication is ineffective, a trabeculectomy surgery may be required, but the effectiveness varies from person to person and there may be certain risks involved. Personal hygiene habits and a healthy diet in daily life also help manage glaucoma.
