What should I do if I want to get pregnant with glaucoma?

  Nowadays, only children are generally born, and the requirements for eugenics are generally high, so I would advise women with glaucoma to be cautious and prepare both mentally and physically beforehand if they want to conceive the next generation.  First of all, glaucoma has certain genetic factors, and different types of glaucoma have different modes of inheritance, including dominant, invisible and polygenic. Many non-diseased people with a family history of glaucoma may carry primary glaucoma in their bodies and have a higher probability of developing the disease themselves than those without a family history.    All current medications for glaucoma, whether eye drops or oral yo, have not gone through this phase of clinical validation in pregnant women and children, so there is a lack of information and no laboratory data in this area. In terms of the amount of medication we are currently using, we have not found any obvious problems with fetal malformations. However, because this is a blind spot, we recommend that you do not use medications for glaucoma if you are planning to become pregnant.  People with glaucoma who want to get pregnant have two options: one is to sacrifice their vision for the next generation, which is rather negative. In addition, if the IOP is not very high and you do not want to have surgery or use medication, you need to closely monitor the changes in IOP, but in doing so, there is a risk of loss of vision and visual field during the period of non-use of medication. In addition, a more positive approach is to pre-select anti-glaucoma surgery, to wait for the post-operative eye condition to stabilize, IOP control in the ideal range, without the need to order IOP-lowering drugs in the case of family planning.
