Question

Experiencing blurred vision with a limited range, after a year of tests and examinations, it was found that the intraocular pressure reached 33. To date, no treatment has been received. Inquire about how to carry out effective treatment.

Answer

The current treatment for glaucoma focuses not only on effectively controlling intraocular pressure but also on protecting the optic nerve, which means increasing the blood supply to the fundus while lowering the pressure. Medications such as Betaserc, Betaxolol, and Miacalcin have been proven to enhance fundus blood supply while reducing intraocular pressure; Alpha-blockers can penetrate the retina and protect the optic nerve from damage by enhancing growth factors and other neurotrophic factors. Existing surgical methods include peripheral iridectomy and trabeculectomy.
