A 16 year old having glaucoma in one eye, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See an opthamologist: The treatment for glaucoma in older children is generally medical (eye drops) initially and if these fail, surgery is considered. Also consider seeing an acupuncturist/chinese medicine practitioner as well as it can help the body balance and perhaps recover form the glaucoma. No matter what it is helpful.
