Question

What are some effective treatment methods for glaucoma?

Answer

Currently, surgical treatment is the last and only important means for Western medicine in the treatment of glaucoma. The purpose of the surgery is to better control intraocular pressure, actively strive for early and effective treatment, and try to minimize the damage to visual function. In addition, attention should be paid to eye hygiene, protect eye use, do not read under strong light, do not stay in a dark room for too long, and ensure that the light is sufficient and soft. Avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, strong tea, coffee, and control the intake of water appropriately. Daily intake should not exceed 1000-1200ml, and drinking water in one go should not exceed 400ml.
