    We all know that glaucoma is a very common and serious eye disease, and its mechanism is that the pressure of the eyes becomes high, and the pressure of other tissues around the eyes is less than the pressure inside the eyes, which is very likely to lead to vision loss and in severe cases, blindness. There are several different types of glaucoma, which are mainly divided into primary and secondary infections. For these two conditions, we first consider drugs**, and when drugs** do not work, we will choose surgery** for intervention.

    But congenital glaucoma is not easy**. Secondary infection of glaucoma requires timely primary disease to prevent provocative infection.

    Doctors suggest that glaucoma patients should do some moderate exercise, which can speed up blood circulation, and at the same time, glaucoma patients should ensure regular sleep and relatively stable mood, and do not use their eyes for a long time to prevent eye congestion, which will aggravate the symptoms of glaucoma. When glaucoma patients have vision loss, it must be detected early, because the harm of glaucoma is irreversible. If it is not prevented in time, it may be in the advanced stage of glaucoma by the time of the examination.

    When glaucoma is diagnosed, patients should go to the hospital regularly to check the pressure and vision of the eye.

    The use of eye drops that reduce pressure on the eye area can be effective in preventing other conditions from developing into glaucoma. Patients with diabetes and high blood pressure should be more careful. If the patient's vision has been irreversibly damaged, then we can use some auxiliary tools to improve the patient's vision, such as electronic aids.

    Glaucoma patients should quit drinking and smoking, eat more vegetables and fruits, and eat more foods containing vitamin A and vitamin C, such as carrots. Patients should also drink small amounts of fluids and avoid caffeinated beverages. If possible, you can lift your head slightly up when sleeping, forming an angle of about 20 degrees with the bed, which can effectively reduce the pressure on the eyes.

    In short, the best way to deal with glaucoma is to detect it early.

    Glaucoma is a common and frequent disease in ophthalmology, and it is also the main blinding eye disease, which is mainly due to the obstruction of aqueous humor drainage and leads to "pathological intraocular pressure increase", optic nerve damage, and visual field defects. Intraocular hypertension is called ocular hypertension when the intraocular pressure exceeds the normal range and is observed for a long time without optic nerve damage.

    Usually pay attention:

    1. The doctor recommends an eye examination once a year to detect eye diseases or lesions as soon as possible.

    2. Maintain a regular life, good sleep, a balanced diet, and avoid excessive emotions.

    3. Avoid working in a dark environment and play less with your mobile phone before going to bed.

    4. Avoid overwork and stress, which may increase intraocular pressure and lead to the onset of the disease, so try to combine work and rest.

    5. Glaucoma patients strictly follow the instructions of the ophthalmologist, take anti-glaucoma drops on time, go to the hospital on time for follow-up, intraocular pressure measurement, regular review of visual field, and see a doctor at any time if there is a change. In daily life, pay attention to maintaining a good mood, regular life, quitting smoking, not overeating, and keeping stool smooth.

    Causes of glaucoma: overwork, lack of sleep, mood swings, uncontrolled diet or overeating and other factors can affect the vascular neuromodulation center and make vasomotor dysfunction: on the one hand, it can dilate capillaries and increase vascular permeability, resulting in ciliary muscle edema, anterior displacement, blocking the anterior chamber angle, and blocking the flow of aqueous humorOn the other hand, it can cause excessive secretion of aqueous humor, too high pressure in the posterior chamber, and the pressure of the peripheral iris moves forward to make the anterior chamber shallow and the anterior chamber angle narrow.

    You can eat more foods with diuretic effect, such as red beans, goldenrod, barley, watermelon, loofah, etc., to promote the discharge of water from the body. In addition, it is necessary to eat more foods that nourish the liver and kidneys, such as daylily, longan, red dates, peanuts, walnuts, soy milk, pork, beef, etc. Wearing loose-fitting clothing is also beneficial for older people with glaucoma.

    When sleeping, the pillow should be raised to facilitate blood flow and reduce intraocular pressure. Pay special attention to maintaining emotional stability and prevent emotional states such as anger, crying, nervousness, and excessive sadness.
