How to treat glaucoma?
Glaucoma can be treated by the following treatment methods, please refer to the specific introduction:

First, laser therapy

If drug treatment still can't control the disease, you can try laser treatment before other operations. New tests show that laser therapy is effective for wide-angle glaucoma. The method is to irradiate the iris with laser to form a small hole to relieve intraocular pressure. If acute or angle-closure glaucoma occurs, edema caused by high intraocular pressure will blur the cornea. In this case, laser therapy is probably not a good choice and further surgery is needed.

Second, surgical treatment.

All confirmed angle-closure glaucoma and open-angle glaucoma or secondary glaucoma that cannot be controlled by drugs should be treated surgically as soon as possible. Once glaucoma is diagnosed, it needs long-term treatment.

Third, Chinese medicine therapy.

Chinese medicine has used acupuncture therapy and herbs (especially salvia miltiorrhiza) to reduce intraocular pressure. Chinese medicine believes that the eyes are the reaction of liver function.

Four, cold and hot compress method

Short-term alternating hot and cold compress of eyes is helpful to improve eye circulation: hot compress can relax nerves and promote circulation; Cold compress stimulates eye circulation. You can hot compress for 2 minutes, then hot compress for 2 minutes, then cold compress 1 minute, and repeat it for 2-3 times, but always cold compress in the end.

Five, Chinese medicine therapy

1, choline: daily1000-2000mg. An important vitamin. 2. Pantothenic acid (B5): each time 100 mg, three times a day.

3. Vitamin B group: 50 mg three times a day, taken with meals, and injected if necessary.

4. Vitamin C: Supplementing bioflavonoids three times a day can greatly reduce intraocular pressure.

5, vitamin E: 400IU per day. Recent studies have shown that vitamin E helps to eliminate small particles in crystals.

Tips: There are three effective methods to control intraocular pressure in glaucoma treatment, namely drug treatment, laser treatment and surgical treatment. Generally speaking, glaucoma is treated with drugs or laser in the early stage. If these two methods can't control the intraocular pressure at the ideal level, we must operate in time, because the damage to the optic nerve caused by high intraocular pressure is irreversible.
