Question
Is glaucoma easy to treat?
Answer
There are primarily three types of treatment for glaucoma, involving medication, laser therapy, and surgical treatment. Generally, medication is considered the traditional initial treatment method for primary open-angle glaucoma. Laser therapy is also a form of surgical treatment and is now widely regarded as an intermediate glaucoma treatment method between medication and filtering surgery. Different types of lasers can be chosen based on the type of glaucoma, and it is generally advisable to use them in the early stages of the disease.
