  Glaucoma can be treated by laser surgery, eye drops, meditations and other surgical procedures etc. If it is not serious, you can choose eye drops and meditations to lower eye pressure. Sometimes doctors will prescribe a combination of eye drops. People using these medications should be aware of their purpose and potential side effects, which should be explained by a medical professional. If you have acute glaucoma, you may choose surgery. It is best for you to go to the doctor and seek for advice.

  For glaucoma, there are three ways of treatment for you choosing. First, drug therapy, it is a good method for the glaucoma in early time, and it has a good effect. Once the visual function is damage, this treatment can only prevent further development, the impaired visual function can not be fully restored. Using the anti-glaucoma eye drops can control open-angle glaucoma. The second method is surgical therapy. If the drug can not control the intraocular pressure, you can consider laser treatment or surgery. But because the harm of surgery is great, and your eyes can not be completely cured after surgery, so you can also choose Chinese medicine treatment, because Chinese medicine treatment is mainly in recuperation, it has no side effects, and the rate of safety is also high.
