Taking Qiju Dihuang Pills is beneficial for patients with glaucoma. Qiju Dihuang Pills are primarily used to treat dry eyes, photophobia, decreased vision, optic nerve atrophy, and early-stage cataracts caused by liver and kidney deficiency and insufficient yin blood. Since the longer glaucoma persists, the greater the damage to the optic nerve becomes, and once such damage occurs, it is difficult to reverse. Patients are advised to promptly seek evaluation and treatment at a正规 hospital to avoid delaying their condition.
