Question
How should glaucoma be treated?
Answer
As glaucoma is an eye disease that can cause blindness, it must emphasize early detection, diagnosis, and treatment. Treatment options include medication control, laser therapy, and surgical treatment. Although glaucoma is a severe irreversible ocular disease, if detected early and treated appropriately with lifelong care, the prognosis is relatively ideal. Of course, there are also rare cases of refractory glaucoma with poorer outcomes, but those are extremely rare. Effective treatment can still maintain longer visual function and delay the onset of blindness.
