Xiao Fan has high myopia and loves to play games. He often plays games until late at night, even all night. , eventually causing glaucoma. In the hospital examination, the intraocular pressure of 50 mmHg.
What is glaucoma?
Hunan Provincial People’s Hospital Director Sha Sha told him that glaucoma is a chronic, progressive ophthalmic disease with pathologically elevated intraocular pressure. It is related to cataract, age Macular degeneration is one of the three major blind eye diseases in ophthalmology. Its onset is inseparable from staying up late and playing mobile phones and games for a long time. In particular, turning off the lights and playing mobile phones and staring at the screen for a long time can induce this blinding eye disease.
Glaucoma is a disease of the elderly?
Xiao Fan is very puzzled: Isn’t glaucoma a disease only for the elderly? How can I get glaucoma at a young age?
Sasha introduced that in my country, the number of people suffering from glaucoma disease has reached 20 million, and it is showing a trend of younger development.
This is because young people often look at mobile phones and computers, and are in a state of excessive eye use for a long time, which can easily lead to high intraocular pressure, plus high work and life pressure, mood swings, overeating and other unhealthy lifestyles , etc., may affect the vascular nerve regulation center and lead to increased intraocular pressure, thereby triggering an acute attack of glaucoma.
How to prevent glaucoma?
Sasha reminds that glaucoma prevention must be done in daily life:
High myopia, hyperopia, and glaucoma patients in the family should go to the hospital as soon as possible Glaucoma screening.
Keep your mood happy and avoid mood swings. Mood swings are the most common cause of glaucoma, so pay attention to your mentality and avoid drastic mood changes such as mental stress, excessive anger, and excitement.
Pay attention to the combination of work and rest to avoid overwork. Heavy physical and mental work during the day, still playing games at night, playing mahjong until late at night, and even playing mobile phones for several nights in a row can also induce glaucoma.
Avoid excessive alcohol consumption, especially alcohol can dilate blood vessels, increase intraocular pressure, and lead to glaucoma.
Avoid staying in the dark room for too long. Because in the dark room, the pupil is in a widened state, the anterior chamber angle is blocked to a certain extent, and the outflow of aqueous humor is blocked, which can lead to increased intraocular pressure.
Control the amount of water you drink, do not drink strong tea and coffee, to prevent constipation.
Medications such as vasodilators and atropine should be used with caution.
