Question
Can blindness caused by glaucoma be reversed?
Answer
Vision damage caused by glaucoma is irreversible, and once blindness occurs, it cannot be restored. Therefore, the focus of treating glaucoma is to control intraocular pressure, prevent further damage to the optic nerve, and avoid deterioration of vision and field of view. If only one eye is blind, the other good eye should control intraocular pressure and undergo regular checks. Even in the early stages without any symptoms, regular checks of intraocular pressure and field of view should be done to prevent the disease.
