Question

What should be noted after glaucoma surgery?

Answer

Patients with glaucoma should pay attention to the following after surgery:

  1. Avoid overexerting your eyes, and take a break to gaze into the distance for 10 minutes every 30 minutes to 1 hour to relieve eye strain.
  2. Limit fluid intake, and avoid drinking coffee and strong tea, as they may cause intraocular pressure to rise.
  3. Quit smoking and drinking, and consume more vegetables and fruits while eating less spicy and irritating food to keep the bowels regular.
