Question
My niece’s eyes involuntarily water and ache whenever she sees the sun. An eye examination revealed she has congenital glaucoma. How much does congenital glaucoma surgery cost?
Answer
The cost of congenital glaucoma surgery is around 2000-2500 yuan. It is recommended to first adopt conservative treatment, such as using brinzolamide eye drops or bimatoprost eye drops, along with oral medications like vitamin B1 and methylene blue tablets. If medication treatment is ineffective, an iridotomy should be considered. Additionally, daily dietary management is also very important and should be properly managed.
