Question
A close friend has recently been diagnosed with glaucoma, and I would like to understand the treatment methods.
Answer
Early-stage glaucoma can be treated by eye drops to reduce intraocular pressure. If medication is ineffective, early surgery should be considered to minimize the damage to the optic nerve caused by high eye pressure. Furthermore, it is important to avoid factors that may trigger glaucoma, such as emotional fluctuations, cold stimuli, and excessive eye strain.
