Touching the black and playing the mobile phone, carefully shaking out acute glaucoma
During the days when "Zhai" was at home, in addition to eating and sleeping, staying up late to brush vibrato, beat the king, and chase dramas became your "standard" every day? The original law of life was disrupted, and it was not up to the day, so the night owl life was not started at night. Even if the light is turned off, he still can't put down his mobile phone, and he can spend half an hour in the bed when he still hasn't finished. As everyone knows, in the dark playing with mobile phones, acute glaucoma is quietly approaching you.
You can really see the "blind" eyes without playing the phone
This is not alarmist. Using the eye in dim light will cause the pupil to dilate for a long time, blocking the circulation of fluid in the eye, resulting in increased intraocular pressure and acute attacks of glaucoma. The sustained high intraocular pressure can also cause damage to various parts of the eyeball tissue and visual function, resulting in decreased vision, damage to the optic nerve and reduced visual field. If left untreated, it may even cause blindness.
Of course, playing mobile phones in the dark is only an incentive. The most important thing is that the individual itself belongs to the "glaucoma quality". "Glaucoma quality" mainly refers to patients with high myopia, hyperopia and family history of glaucoma. Once there is an incentive, it will cause the intraocular pressure to rise, which causes glaucoma. Even if you belong to "glaucoma quality", don't be afraid. As long as you control the incentives, the chance of forming glaucoma will be much smaller.
In addition, playing mobile phones in the dark can easily cause various diseases such as myopia, dry eyes, and macular degeneration. "Mobile phone families" should be taken as a warning. Touching the black and playing the mobile phone is especially harmful to the eyes of young people. Looking at the screen at close range in the dark, the eyes blink less, and it is easy to produce visual fatigue. The vision of the young people is still developing. problem.
High-risk groups of four people are more likely to be "stared" by glaucoma
Grumpy people Some people are often irritable. Unstable emotions can cause unstable intraocular pressure, and long-term high intraocular pressure can induce the formation of glaucoma.
Women over the age of 40 As women around the age of 40 gradually enter menopause, their moods are variable, and these are the manifestations of "glaucoma quality". The range of mood changes is too large, which can easily lead to a sharp increase in intraocular pressure and induce acute glaucoma.
The eyes of overuse users need to rest every day like the brain. However, when you face a computer at get off work and play a mobile phone after work, this eye habit can cause excessive eye fatigue, which can lead to glaucoma.
High myopia in patients with high myopia due to the enlargement of myopia and the extension of the optic papilla, resulting in thinning of the sclera of the sieve plate and optic papilla, high intraocular pressure compresses the optic nerve, resulting in progressive atrophy of the optic nerve, and the visual field is gradually lost and blinded.
One action measures how far you are from glaucoma
During the home stay, some people experienced eye pain. For some people, this may be normal, rest and rest will be fine. But for people with high risk factors for glaucoma, if it is caused by increased intraocular pressure, it may be a sign of glaucoma.
How to simply judge whether eye pain is caused by increased intraocular pressure? Here to teach you a small method: "fingerprinting method"-using two fingers, only two steps, you can self-test whether our intraocular pressure is too high.
Close your eyes and touch the eyeball gently with your index finger to feel the fluctuation of the eyeball: 1. If the softness is the same as the lips, then the intraocular pressure is normal; 2. If the hardness is the same as the tip of the nose, then the intraocular pressure is light enough Moderately increased; 3. If the touch is as hard as the forehead, then the intraocular pressure is already high. Through this small method of self-test, you can roughly judge whether the intraocular pressure is abnormal. Of course, if you feel obvious discomfort, you still need to see a doctor. It should also be reminded that the intraocular pressure is not a constant value. Different times of the day are not exactly the same. It is impossible to judge the condition or confirm the diagnosis based on only one intraocular pressure measurement.
In addition to eye pain and increased intraocular pressure, glaucoma has the following symptoms:
Nausea and vomiting, eye pain and bloating When the intraocular pressure rises sharply, it can reflexively cause excitement of the vagus nerve and vomiting nerve center, causing severe nausea and vomiting. Trigeminal nerve endings are stimulated and reflexively cause pain in the area where the trigeminal nerve is distributed. Patients often feel migraine and eye pain.
The visual field becomes narrower and the vision declines due to the gradual increase of intraocular pressure. The optic nerve is damaged. In the early stage, the visual acuity and foggy vision often appear at night, and disappear in the next morning. In the late stage, the visual field becomes narrower and narrower, which is also the main symptom of glaucoma.
When looking at the lights, rainbow vision appears a colorful circle or halo around it, similar to the rainbow in the sky after the rain in the summer and the sky is clear. This is called rainbow vision in medicine.
The home "eye protection method" for glaucoma patients
Glaucoma is a lifelong disease. During home, you must maintain a good mentality and stable emotions. You have a lot of mental stress, too much thought, and you are bored or have a bad temper, and are prone to acute glaucoma;
Don’t overuse your eyes. Avoid overusing your eyes to see a bright spot in the dark. It is best to adjust the contrast of the phone screen when looking at the phone, so that the brightness and color are as soft as possible. If possible, turn on a low-brightness background lighting in the room to ease the difference in brightness between the screen and the background environment. And keep watching the phone for as long as possible not to exceed 20 minutes, blink consciously, and pay attention to "lighten the eyes";
Avoid drinking a large amount of water at one time, drink a small amount of water in small amounts, and minimize the amount of water at night to prevent glaucoma;
For acute glaucoma, sudden eye swelling, eye pain, and headache, accompanied by vision loss, in the case of good self-protection, you need to go to the ophthalmologist in time to reduce intraocular pressure to prevent damage to visual function;
For primary open-angle glaucoma that has been clearly diagnosed, patients need to take medication on time. During the outbreak, online consultation can be implemented, and they can go to the hospital for treatment at an optional time;
The new coronary pneumonia virus can infect the conjunctiva of the eye, which may cause lung infection. Patients with glaucoma, especially those who need long-term medication, need to pay strict attention to hand hygiene.
