Question
My sister’s child has been diagnosed with glaucoma, and one eye has already lost function. I would like to ask how glaucoma should be treated?
Answer
In current Western medical treatments, surgery is the last and key method for treating glaucoma, aimed at effectively controlling intraocular pressure and minimizing damage to vision function. In addition, patients should pay attention to eye hygiene, avoid reading under strong light, prevent prolonged stays in dim rooms, maintain soft and moderate lighting, and not overuse their eyes. At the same time, they should avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, strong tea, and coffee, control their daily water intake appropriately, and avoid drinking excessive amounts of water at once.
