Question
What is Open-Angle Glaucoma?
Answer
Open-angle glaucoma can cause symptoms such as eye pain, nausea, dry heaving, and headaches. The eye pressure may be normal or abnormal during the examination. Early treatment can include the use of mydriatic eye drops, such as pilocarpine, combined with mannitol for pressure reduction. If not treated actively, it may lead to blindness. If treatment is ineffective, consider undergoing trabeculectomy. After surgery, pay attention to eye hygiene, avoid overusing your eyes, and this can help prevent recurrence of the disease.
