Question
Can glaucoma be easily treated?
Answer
The main treatment methods for glaucoma include three main categories: medication, laser therapy, and surgical treatment. It is generally believed that medication is the traditional initial treatment method for primary open-angle glaucoma. Laser therapy is also a type of surgical treatment and is now widely considered 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 recommended for early stages of the disease.
