Question
My cousin has been feeling discomfort in her eyes lately. I accompanied her to the hospital, and it turned out she has glaucoma. I want to know how to treat glaucoma?
Answer
For early-stage glaucoma, when the intraocular pressure is high, eye drops can be used to lower the pressure. If medication control is not ideal, surgery should be combined as soon as possible to try and prevent or delay the damage to the optic nerve caused by the high intraocular pressure of glaucoma. In addition, it is important to pay special attention to bad habits that may trigger a glaucoma attack, such as significant mood swings, exposure to cold and stimulating weather changes, frequent anger, and overuse of the eyes. These should be avoided.
