Question
Many people around me have recently been diagnosed with glaucoma. How is glaucoma treated?
Answer
It is necessary to go to the hospital for a check-up to determine the current level of intraocular pressure and visual function. Glaucoma is a broad category of diseases with multiple types. Some patients can be treated with medication, while others may require surgery. For angle-closure glaucoma with recurrently elevated intraocular pressure, surgery is recommended. For open-angle glaucoma, medication such as vitamin B injections can be used, which has certain therapeutic effects.
