Question
A patient, after undergoing a medical examination at the hospital, was informed that they have glaucoma and inquired about the possibility of treating the disease.
Answer
Patients with glaucoma can control intraocular pressure through medication or surgical treatment. Medication treatment usually starts with low concentration and gradually adjusts to higher concentration, ensuring effective medication throughout the 24-hour period. If medication treatment fails to control intraocular pressure, surgical treatment may be considered. Using eye ointment before bedtime can also help control eye pressure.
