Can acute glaucoma be cured?

Acute glaucoma can be cured if discovered in time, but attention must be paid to the correct treatment method and compliance with treatment principles. Surgical treatment can be performed, especially for those cases where medication and normal treatments are ineffective, surgical treatment is better.

First, the principle of treatment is mainly surgery. It is clear that acute glaucoma should be treated surgically as soon as possible, and the condition should be controlled with drugs first to make the chamber angle open. The patient's intraocular pressure must be reduced and the inflammation subsided before surgical treatment can be performed on the patient.

Second, conventional treatment. If the patient's disease stage is in the prodromal and intermittent stages, iridotomy should be performed. This surgery can have a good cure effect because it allows the patient to break the obstruction of the pupil. The aqueous humor can pass through the six anterior chambers and the patient's anterior and posterior chamber pressures can be well balanced, preventing closure.

Third, acute attacks of glaucoma should be treated actively to open the patient's chamber angle as soon as possible to avoid adhesion of the patient's chamber angle. If the patient's intraocular pressure is very high, it will lead to many complications and the effect of treatment will be relatively poor. The intraocular pressure should be controlled and surgical treatment should be performed after it reaches a normal level.

Fourth, surgical treatment. Because the onset of acute glaucoma is relatively rapid and serious, medication and conventional treatments may have poor effects. At this time, surgical treatment is necessary and preliminary preparations for surgical treatment must be made.
