I believe everyone is familiar with the disease of eye glaucoma, but they are at a loss as to the early symptoms of glaucoma that need attention. So what to pay attention to in daily life with glaucoma, let us take a look at the following introduction:
Early symptoms of glaucoma:
1. Frequent minor headaches, eye pain, blurred vision and soreness at the base of the nose;
2. When looking at something with one eye, the inner corner of the eye will have a sense of obscuration;
3. Shortly after reading and writing, there will be blurred vision, headache, tears, discomfort around the eyes, virtual shadows in seeing things, etc., and nausea and vomiting in severe cases; this requires me to keep reading, writing, playing computer, etc. The time is within 20-30 minutes, and you can continue after a 10-minute rest. It is necessary to wear correct glasses for correcting refractive errors to achieve vision and reduce eye fatigue.
4. The ability to distinguish colors is weakened, and the ability to adapt to dark environments decreases;
5. Suffer from hypotension, often accompanied by dizziness, blurred vision and other symptoms;
6. After the age of 45, a suitable pair of glasses can generally be used for 4-5 years, and a pair of glasses of this kind of patients will feel inappropriate after being used soon, and frequent replacement is always inappropriate;
7. Patients with long-term hypertension and diabetes should go to a professional eye hospital for investigation to prevent the occurrence of secondary glaucoma;
8. People with family history of glaucoma, hyperopia and small eyeballs, even if they do not have the above symptoms, should go to the hospital for regular checkups.
So what should we pay attention to in our daily life?
First, keep your emotions stable
Peace of mind, don’t be overjoyed or sad, be calm when you encounter things that don’t go well, don’t be anxious and angry. Numerous cases have shown that anxiety and anger can lead to a sharp increase in intraocular pressure. If you don’t get timely treatment for glaucoma, it may be counted. Blindness after hours.
Secondly, control eye pressure
The diet is mainly light, and the food intake is 80% full. Eat some vegetables and fruits appropriately, eat some sweet potatoes every day to keep the stool smooth, and develop the habit of regular bowel movements once a day to prevent constipation, because constipation cannot eliminate waste and toxins in the body in time , And hold your breath and defecate forcefully, which can increase intraocular pressure. Avoid working with your head down for a long time, and the pillow is a little higher when you sleep to prevent congestion of the head and increase the intraocular pressure. Do not wear tight-necked or tight-fitting clothes, so as not to affect the blood circulation in the brain. It is best to wash your feet with hot water before going to bed, which can improve blood circulation and facilitate sleep. Daily life should be regular, take part in appropriate exercise, keep more than seven hours of sleep, do not drink strong tea or coffee one hour before going to bed, so as to avoid excitement affecting sleep. When drinking water, do not exceed 300ml each time to prevent a drop in plasma osmotic pressure caused by excessive drinking, resulting in increased production of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. After each meal, close the affected eyes, place the index fingers of both hands on the upper eyelids and gently massage the eyeballs about 20 times to encourage excess aqueous humor in the eyes to drain out of the eyes after a meal, and maintain normal intraocular pressure. The indoor lights are bright, try not to stay in the dark, do not wear sunglasses, because the pupils will be physiologically dilated under low light, the iris roots are easy to block the anterior chamber angle, which affects the drainage of aqueous humor from the trabecular, and causes the intraocular pressure to rise.
Finally, avoid smoking, alcohol, and spicy
Smoking is forbidden to prevent the nicotine in the cigarette from causing retinal vasospasm and pay more attention to the ischemic damage of the nerves. Drinkers are generally restricted to less than half a tael, and eat less or no spicy food.
