Question
I recently tested positive for glaucoma. How should I treat it?
Answer
Early-stage glaucoma can be treated with iridectomy surgery. For patients in the middle or late stages or those whose intraocular pressure cannot be controlled, options include trabeculectomy, combined glaucoma and cataract surgery, and for open-angle glaucoma, non-penetrating trabeculectomy can also be considered. Patients should avoid excessive emotional tension, anxiety, and excitement, as these emotions may cause the intraocular pressure to rise, thereby exacerbating the condition of glaucoma. In daily life, patients should maintain a regular lifestyle and keep their mood cheerful.
