How to treat chronic angle closure glaucoma

The treatment of chronic angle-closure glaucoma mainly includes drug therapy, physical therapy, surgical treatment, etc.

1. Drug therapy

patients can be treated with pilocarpine nitrate eye drops, latantimote eye drops, betalol hydrochloride eye drops and other drugs under the guidance of the doctor. These drugs can reduce intraocular pressure and relieve the symptoms of glaucoma.

2. Physical therapy

mainly includes laser peripheral iridectomy, laser peripheral iridoplasty, selective laser trabeculoplasty, etc. These treatments can change the structure of eye tissue through laser energy, thus improving the symptoms of chronic angle-closure glaucoma.

3. Surgical

treatment mainly includes trabeculectomy, aqueous drainage device implantation and non-penetrating trabecular surgery. Surgical treatment is usually taken when drug therapy and physical therapy cannot effectively control the disease.
