3. For patients who cannot reduce intraocular pressure and restore vision through medical treatment, or for narrow-angle glaucoma or angle atresia, surgical treatment should be considered. Commonly used treatments include iris incarceration, ciliary body separation, laser photocoagulation, etc. Operation.
