Can Posner-Schlossman syndrome (glaucomatocyclitic crisis) be cured?

Posner-Schlossman syndrome (glaucomatocyclitic crisis) may be curable or incurable, depending on the specific circumstances of the disease.

       1. Curable: Posner-Schlossman syndrome is an ocular condition characterized by recurrent episodes of elevated intraocular pressure accompanied by mild anterior uveitis. It tends to recur and mainly causes slight blurring of vision and decreased visual acuity. When looking at lights, patients may see colored halos around light sources, resulting in mild虹视 (chromatopsia). Under a doctor's guidance, treatment should be tailored according to specific ocular symptoms, using medications such as corticosteroids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and intraocular pressure-lowering agents. Surgical intervention may be necessary in some cases. With appropriate treatment, the condition can usually be cured.

       2. Incurable: After treatment, patients should follow medical advice and undergo regular follow-up examinations at the hospital. Attention should be paid to eye hygiene and care, ensuring adequate sleep, avoiding staying up late, and minimizing prolonged eye use to prevent recurrence. Without timely and effective treatment, some patients may experience repeated episodes. Frequent recurrences could lead to permanent visual dysfunction and a permanently constricted visual field.
