Question
What methods are there to cure blindness caused by glaucoma?
Answer
Glaucoma is a condition characterized by the swelling of the optic nerve and the gradual loss of visual function, making blindness once it occurs irreversible. In other words, blindness caused by glaucoma cannot be completely restored. There are various reasons for developing glaucoma. If it is caused by bacterial invasion, patients can use antibiotics for treatment, which has a good therapeutic effect. If the patient’s glaucoma is caused by a virus, antibiotics are ineffective, and many antiviral drugs must be used for treatment. In severe cases, surgery may be an option for the patient.
