Eye Care: Effective Glaucoma Treatment Methods

Absolute glaucoma is caused by a continuous high intraocular pressure, leading to the barrier function loss of the corneal endothelium and the formation of bullous keratopathy. The best initial treatment for glaucoma is medication, including acetazolamide, timolol maleate eye drops, and homatropine hydrobromide eye drops. If the intraocular pressure cannot be controlled even at the maximum medication dose, surgical treatment may be considered. Since the causes of glaucoma are diverse, it is essential to understand the etiology before treatment and adopt a symptomatic treatment strategy. Moreover, daily care measures are indispensable. It is recommended to drink plenty of water and consume vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins.
