Can hormonal glaucoma recover?

Hormonal glaucoma

refers to an increase in intraocular pressure caused by the use of hormone drugs. If the patient does not use hormone drugs for a long time, especially if the lowest effective concentration of hormone drugs is selected, the intraocular pressure can gradually recover after stopping the use of hormone drugs according to medical advice. However, if the patient uses hormone drugs for a long time, especially long-term use of high concentrations of hormone drugs, it can cause optic nerve damage, resulting in decreased vision, visual field defects, etc., and optic nerve damage is irreversible, so it cannot be completely restored, but after active treatment, the existing vision and visual field can be maintained.
