Whether patients need to continue to use medication after the intraocular pressure is normalized is related to the condition. Some patients need to continue to use medication if their intraocular pressure is elevated after stopping the medication.
Because of the use of hormonal drugs or lens dislocation caused by elevated intraocular pressure, the patient to stop the use of hormonal drugs, the use of intraocular pressure-lowering drugs after the general intraocular pressure can be stabilized. After the intraocular pressure returns to normal, even if the patient stops using intraocular pressure-lowering drugs, the patient’s intraocular pressure can remain stable, so there is no need to continue to use drugs.
However, the use of IOP-lowering drugs in patients with primary glaucoma, such as acute closed-angle glaucoma, can reduce IOP, but if the patient stops the use of drugs, the IOP will rise again, so the patient can not stop the use of drugs, and need to continue to use drugs.
It is recommended that patients with abnormal intraocular pressure consult a doctor in a timely manner to evaluate their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
