Question
I’ve been feeling headaches and eye pain recently, along with occasional temporary blurred vision. I was previously diagnosed with angle-closure glaucoma and have been using pilocarpine eye drops, but the pain persists. I’m planning to have a minor surgery. Where is the best place to have angle-closure glaucoma surgery? What are the risks involved?
Answer
As a common type of glaucoma, angle-closure glaucoma usually achieves good results with surgery performed in a regular hospital’s ophthalmology department. It is recommended that patients pay attention to rest, maintain a normal lifestyle, and regularly visit the hospital’s ophthalmology department for follow-up and treatment to stabilize the condition. If symptoms continue to worsen, it is advisable to return to the hospital for a follow-up visit as soon as possible.
