How to treat glaucoma

It is recommended to go to see a Chinese medicine practitioner! Here are two ways to do TCM: I hope it can help you.

1. Acupuncture and moxibustion: Acupuncture has a significant pain-relieving effect on glaucoma, especially in acute attacks, and may also have a certain degree of intraocular pressure lowering effect, and has a synergistic effect with other methods, while in the middle and late stages of glaucoma, acupuncture can improve visual function. Therefore, acupuncture can be used as one of the best methods for glaucoma syndrome.

2. Internal treatment: The internal treatment of glaucoma emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment. Through traditional Chinese medicine**, clinical symptoms can be significantly reduced, and some patients can be treated. In general, TCM considers the Five Winds to be a serious eye disease.

Glaucoma is not necessarily subject to surgery**, especially for older patients who cannot tolerate surgery, and the following options are available:

1. Drugs**. Drops of intraocular pressure lowering eye drops: such as timolol eye drops, pilocarpine eye drops, etc., the specific choice of drugs must be selected under the guidance of a doctor with intraocular pressure.

2. Laser**: When the intraocular pressure is not ideal for drug control, local laser can be performed**.

Glaucoma is treated by glaucoma laser surgery, which is an advanced technology mainly used for glaucoma, and it is also a powerful beam with a small spot, depending on the intensity of the beam, it can cause small cauterization or penetration of the eye tissue. The beam then passes through the layers of the eye, and then focuses accurately on the first position of the eye. Glaucoma laser surgery is characterized by its convenience, simplicity, and speed, with little pain for the patient, and can be performed on an outpatient basis.

The volume of surgery is easily manageable and can be repeated multiple times**. The laser has a precise point of action and little damage to adjacent tissues. In addition, the response after surgery is light, the recovery is fast, and there are few complications, which is safe and effective.

If the laser surgery fails, it will not affect the effect of the filtration surgery or other procedures**. Laser can be mainly used for iris peripheral excision, that is, iris drainage, and it is also one of the most exclusive angle closure glaucoma methods.

The best way to get glaucoma.

1. Surgery**.

Surgery** is the most effective way to control glaucoma, the purpose of surgery is to better control the intraocular pressure, and surgery** can have a significant effect on the control of intraocular pressure.

In filtration surgery for open-angle glaucoma, a small piece of the iris is removed to prevent future acute glaucoma. A microscopic device is used to make a small opening in the sclera, the white part of the eye, and this new opening allows the fluid in the eye to bypass the blocked drain. So as to achieve the purpose of **.

2. Drug control**.

With the development of medical technology, anti-glaucoma drugs have increased rapidly in recent years, and drugs are also common.

Mainly the application of intraocular pressure lowering drugs. Doctors can choose appropriate and effective anti-glaucoma ophthalmic drugs according to the patient's condition, the mechanism of lowering intraocular pressure and the synergistic effect of drugs. It should be pointed out that glaucoma is a stubborn disease, and you must adhere to the long-term medication according to your doctor's instructions and never stop to prevent glaucoma**.

Trabeculectomy is now commonly used, especially after various modified trabeculectomy, with a wide range of indications, few postoperative complications and good efficacy. This type of surgery can be used for angle-closure glaucoma where drugs are ineffective, and it is recommended to choose a professional ophthalmology institution to perform it, and do not miss the opportunity.

Glaucoma is one of the blinding diseases in ophthalmic diseases, it also deprives many people of light, and brings inconvenience to many people's lives, so we should pay more attention to the prevention of glaucoma
