Question
My child has been crying a lot since birth, and their eyes always tear up. How should I treat them for possible glaucoma?
Answer
The current situation does not confirm glaucoma, so it is recommended not to start medication and to carefully observe the intraocular pressure for one month. Additionally, have the angle of the eye checked to see how narrow it is. Medication cannot be selected based solely on the intraocular pressure. If diagnosed with glaucoma, medication should be started immediately. Medication alone for control generally requires continuous use. Typically, patients can stop medication after undergoing surgery.
