When he learned that his 8-year-old daughter Huahua was suffering from congenital heart disease, his father, Mr. Lin (pseudonym), was like a blow to the head, and the misfortune was that his daughter was diagnosed with glaucoma again. Recently, with the help of the "Qingguangxia" special project of Aier Eye Hospital affiliated to Wuhan University, Huahua successfully underwent 360-degree goniotomy assisted by microcatheter in her right eye.
Huahua (pseudonym) lives in Huangshi, Hubei Province, and has been living with her father and grandmother. Previously, Huahua, who was unable to breathe, was found to have congenital heart disease. Two months ago, Huahua's father found that her right eye was exostropic again, and after a local hospital examination, it was found that she had poor vision in both eyes, high intraocular pressure in both eyes, 40 mm Hg in her right eye and 30 mm Hg in her left eye. At the end of January, Huahua was diagnosed with glaucoma in both eyes after further examination.
