Does High Eye Pressure Always Mean Glaucoma?

High eye pressure doesn’t necessarily mean glaucoma; it could just be high-tension syndrome. If you’re concerned, it’s best to seek medical attention for a thorough examination, including detailed corneal thickness checks, visual field tests, and fundus examinations. If diagnosed with glaucoma, timely treatment to lower the intraocular pressure is necessary. If there are no current signs of visual field defects or nerve damage, and a temporary diagnosis of high-tension syndrome is made, it’s important to have regular follow-up examinations at the hospital.

Does My Child Have an Eye Problem?

My daughter fell off the bed two days ago and her eye might have hit the corner of the table. Initially, there was no noticeable swelling, but it gradually turned blue. Today, I noticed a small red spot on the corner of her eye. Is this conjunctivitis? Is there a problem? The child is in good spirits and very playful. This condition can be treated with hot compresses, anti-inflammatory, and blood circulation drugs. If the conjunctivitis lasts no more than 24 hours, cold compresses can be used. This type of conjunctivitis is hemorrhagic, so early cold compresses can help control bleeding and reduce swelling. However, if it exceeds 24 hours, the blood vessels will start to heal, and the congestion will not be absorbed. At this point, hot compresses can accelerate the elimination of congestion, thereby alleviating the feeling of stuffiness.
