At present, glaucoma cannot be completely eradicated. Clinical methods are mainly used to control the intraocular pressure and slow down the progress of the disease, such as medication, laser treatment, surgery, and so on.
1. Medication: Glaucoma patients can follow the doctor’s instructions to use medication to reduce intraocular pressure, such as Brinzolamide eye drops, Hirschsprung’s base eye drops, etc., according to the patient’s target intraocular pressure, it can be used singly or a variety of drugs combined.
2. Laser treatment: If the effect of medication is not good, patients can also be treated with laser modalities such as selective laser trabeculoplasty to reduce intraocular pressure.
3. Surgery: If the target intraocular pressure is not reached by medication and the condition progresses, surgery can be considered, such as trabeculectomy, implantation of glaucoma drainage valves, etc., and the appropriate surgical method can be chosen according to the condition.
It is recommended that glaucoma patients should consult a doctor in a timely manner to assess their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
