Question
How can glaucoma be controlled effectively? I have been experiencing frequent pain and tears in my left eye at night for over a year. Detailed examination at the hospital diagnosed me with glaucoma and cataracts. The doctor recommended surgery, but my family is hesitant due to the lack of improvement in their relatives after surgery. I have tried to find medication for glaucoma at pharmacies without success and am seeking expert advice.
Answer
It is recommended that glaucoma patients undergo surgery immediately, as the condition usually improves postoperatively. Medication for treating glaucoma has limited effectiveness and may delay the progression of the disease. Therefore, patients should undergo surgery as soon as possible and choose to be treated at a regular hospital to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.
