Question
My child has been born and their eyes keep watering, and they are always crying. How should glaucoma patients be treated?
Answer
Glaucoma is a condition with high intraocular pressure, a disease that is irreversible and can lead to blindness. Often, it is overlooked in the early stages because there are no obvious symptoms. By the time the disease progresses to its late stages, irreversible visual loss has already occurred, which is why glaucoma is often referred to as the ’thief of sight.’ Since medication treatment is not effective, it is important to make a quick decision and consider laser therapy or surgery for treatment, and not to delay any longer.
