Is the possibility of recovery after surgery for glaucoma high?

This is an automatically translated article.

Question
Hello doctor, I am 32 years old, recently went to the doctor and was informed that my right eye has glaucoma secondary to medication. As for the left eye, the doctor suspected glaucoma. The results of OCT scan of the posterior part of the eyeball showed that the right eye was completely concave with the thin atrophy of the upper and lower fascia fibers. Can you give me some advice on how to treat this disease? I read the newspaper that there is a laser surgery method. My eyes are like this, can I have surgery? If I have surgery, is there a good chance of recovery? I look forward to receiving a doctor's advice. I sincerely thank!

Hello, if you have atrophy of the optic nerve, you need to carefully monitor the nerve fiber layer and the market, eye pressure,... to see if the current glaucoma is still progressing. or not to have a continued treatment regimen, you can go to Vinmec Health System nationwide for examination and tests to diagnose and treat glaucoma.
