Chronic glaucoma is a symptom caused by the gradual drainage angle and even obstruction for several years. Chronic glaucoma can result when the drainage angle narrows due to factors such as old age or hyperopia, and the risk of developing chronic glaucoma increases after middle age. Chronic glaucoma also has a family genetic predisposition.

Drug treatment should follow the principle of local first, then whole body, first low concentration, then high concentration, first small dose and then high dose.

Using eye drops and taking tablets can make the blocked part of the drainage angle of the aqueous humor open slightly, and reduce the production of aqueous humor.

If medicine fails to lower the intraocular pressure sufficiently, an ophthalmologist will recommend you to undergo a surgical operation.

If you have to use eye drops and pills for life, you should go to the hospital for regular inspections to make corresponding adjustments to the medication situation according to your condition.

Chronic glaucoma glaucoma

Glaucoma can be divided into acute glaucoma, chronic glaucoma, and concurrent glaucoma.

The more dangerous and terrible condition is chronic glaucoma, because the disease usually has no obvious symptoms, and the patient is often lacking in consciousness and difficult to detect, usually after an ophthalmologist's examination.

At the same time, due to the late stage of chronic glaucoma, the optic nerve has been damaged to some extent, the patient's vision will gradually narrow, vision will gradually decline, when the eye is found to be seriously damaged, or even completely blind. ^[1]

High risk group for chronic glaucoma

There is also a so-called "high-risk group" for glaucoma. If someone in the family is over 65 years old, the risk of glaucoma is very high, which is about 10 times that of the average person.

In addition, people with diabetes are at risk of developing glaucoma. In addition, if one eye has developed glaucoma, the other eye also has a high chance of developing it. ^[1]
