Glaucoma Treatment and Its Wider Impact

Glaucoma treatment often involves eye drops to lower eye pressure and prevent further vision loss. However, some medications, like corticosteroids, may increase the risk of developing glaucoma, so careful monitoring is essential.

Effective treatment not only preserves vision but also helps relieve the global burden of glaucoma, improving patients’ quality of life and reducing risks in daily activities, including road safety.

As we end World Glaucoma Week, the Philippine Academy of Ophthalmology reminds everyone to prioritize early detection, safe treatment, and responsible eye care. 💚
