Is there any possibility of vision recovery for glaucoma-induced blindness?
Disease description:
I can no longer see anything—this is due to glaucoma. Yet, I’m still unwilling to give up. Is there any possibility of vision restoration for individuals who have become blind from glaucoma?

No. Because existing nerve damage and visual impairment cannot be repaired, if the patient's intraocular pressure is relatively high, it may cause changes in refractive power, leading to corneal edema and other complications. If vision loss is caused by factors such as corneal edema or refractive changes, medications can be used to lower intraocular pressure. Intraocular pressure can be controlled through medication or surgery to prevent glaucoma recurrence and achieve therapeutic goals.
