Regular follow-up visits are necessary after glaucoma surgery to adjust treatment plans according to the condition.

A child’s eyes often tear and they are prone to crying. What should be done about open-angle glaucoma?

Growth-related glaucoma can be treated through surgery, and early treatment is crucial for preventing the progression of the disease and protecting vision.

Ten months after glaucoma surgery, with good control of intraocular pressure, how can photophobia be improved?

Soon after birth, if a child’s eyes often tear and they tend to cry easily, this condition may lead to secondary glaucoma caused by eye injuries.

Neovascular glaucoma is primarily caused by the growth of new blood vessels within the iris, leading to increased intraocular pressure and vision decline. A detailed examination is necessary for diagnosis. Unfortunately, the vision loss caused by this condition is usually irreversible. The main treatment method is through surgery, but surgery is invasive and cannot guarantee stable vision, and may even lead to further deterioration of vision, ultimately resulting in eye swelling.

How should pediatric glaucoma be treated?

Glaucoma is a disease caused by high intraocular pressure, with common symptoms including eye pain, nausea, dry heaving, and rapid vision loss. Initial treatment can involve the use of mydriatic eye drops, such as pilocarpine, combined with mannitol infusion to lower intraocular pressure. If these methods are ineffective, a trabeculectomy may be necessary. However, the outcome of surgery varies from person to person, and the risk of blindness due to glaucoma is relatively high, making it difficult to be completely cured. Therefore, it is recommended that patients maintain a healthy lifestyle and diet in their daily lives to alleviate symptoms and prevent the further progression of the disease.

Angle-closure glaucoma is caused by iris blockage leading to increased intraocular pressure, with current medication and surgical treatment methods available.
