What are the symptoms of glaucoma, whether it is good to treat it, and who will get it?

Glaucoma is characterized by increased pressure in the eyeball and damage to the optic nerve. Glaucoma is extremely blinding. It is mainly due to the imbalance between the production and discharge of aqueous humor, resulting in the production of more than the amount discharged, resulting in excessive accumulation of aqueous humor and high intraocular pressure, resulting in optic nerve compression and atrophy, which seriously affects vision.

Performance: 1Patients with acute glaucoma may have manifestations of high intraocular pressure, such as eye pain, eye swelling, headache, nausea, vomiting, etc

Acute glaucoma may include sudden redness, decreased vision, and iridescence (i.e., rainbow-like phenomenon) when looking at lights. 3.On examination, intraocular pressure (normal 10 to 21 mmHg), dilated pupils, and corneal edema may be seen.

4.Patients with chronic glaucoma may have optic nerve atrophy. Manifested as:

U.S. Tongren ophthalmology experts pointed out that the most typical symptoms of congenital glaucoma are photophobia, tearing, crying at night, and poor sleep. Enlargement of the eyeball, enlargement of the cornea, opacity of the cornea, high intraocular pressure. If the baby is born with large eyes, be sure to go to the hospital for a check-up.

What are the early symptoms of congenital glaucoma? In the early stages of glaucoma, there may be no symptoms and discomfort, and patients are often unaware that they have glaucoma. There are also visual fatigue, eye swelling and headaches, and there is a rainbow-like aperture at night when watching the lights, and the vision is blurred, and the symptoms can disappear after rest.

People with the above symptoms should seek medical attention in time. Can glaucoma be prevented?

No. Only early detection, early **. American Hitomi, which provides nutrients directly to the eyes.

Due to the absorption of drugs, through the absorption of enough nutrients from the body to penetrate into the blood, microcirculation directly provides a variety of urgently needed nutrients to the eyes, and the other part of nutrients and water, through the use of American pupils, directly through the surface of the absorption and penetration of the eyes, directly to the eye disease, so as to play the role of glaucoma, care for the eyes.

1. Significant loss of vision

The patient's vision will slowly deteriorate, and the vision cannot be achieved even with glasses. Especially for people with severe myopia, wearing more suitable glasses can also cause dizziness.

2. Swollen eyes and headache

When the patient is emotionally agitated, or stays in a dark place for too long, he will have swollen eyes, headache, blurred vision, etc., as if there are clouds in front of his eyes, and this symptom is generally closed-angle glaucoma. After many recurrences, it is possible to suddenly enter the acute major attack phase.

3. Rainbow vision

When you look at the lights at night, colorful circles of light appear in your eyes, just like a rainbow that appears in the sky after a rain, which is called rainbow vision in medicine. This is a very special symptom of glaucoma and should be taken seriously.

4. Difficulty reading in the morning

When I wake up in the morning, I feel that my eyes are very uncomfortable when I read, and my eyes and forehead will be swollen and painful. This is because the intraocular pressure of glaucoma patients fluctuates greatly for 24 hours, so the intraocular pressure is higher in the morning, and symptoms appear.

5. Increased intraocular pressure

Once you have glaucoma, it will cause the intraocular pressure to rise, and then the condition will worsen, which will endanger the patient's health. Therefore, intraocular pressure should be properly controlled. In general, the normal intraocular pressure range is 10-21 mm Hg, and when the intraocular pressure rises to 25-40 mm Hg, the finger touch of the eyeball is like a full ball, which is relatively hard.

When it rises to 40-70 mmHg, the eyeballs are as hard as stones when you touch them with your fingers.

The symptoms of glaucoma are not very obvious, and it is easy to ignore the past, **Glaucoma has to go to a professional eye hospital, Qingdao New Vision Eye Hospital is very good, you can go to see it.

At this time, it is what we usually call water eyes, and in this case, it is necessary to take the patient to the hospital as soon as possible.

Therefore, if the patient has cataracts, we should avoid long-term ultraviolet sun exposure in our daily life and when we go out.

Hello, under normal circumstances, the five major symptoms of glaucoma are as follows: first, increased intraocular pressure, second, narrowing of the visual field, third, headache and eye swelling, fourth, nausea and vomiting, fifth, rainbow vision, in short, glaucoma patients in addition to the necessary **, in the diet is also able to prevent and control the disease, on weekdays patients can eat more foods containing vitamins, fresh vegetables and fruits, such as daylily, bergamot, longan, red dates, wolfberry, peanuts, walnuts, soy milk, poria, beef, malt, Vegetable oil, soybeans, peanuts, egg yolks, etc.

Glaucoma is a blinding eye disease, because there are no obvious symptoms in the early stage, and once the onset of the disease is irreversible damage to visual function, it will often be ignored by patients, and is also known as "thief who steals vision"!

Most glaucoma has no symptoms in the early or even middle stages, especially when one eye develops first, and it is not detected until the binocular vision function is severely impaired. Routine physical examinations do not necessarily detect early glaucoma.

Half of glaucoma patients in developed countries do not know they have glaucoma, while more than 90% of glaucoma patients in developing countries have no knowledge of their disease or have never even heard of glaucoma. Glaucoma can occur at any age and is more common in older people, and its prevalence increases with age.

Early symptoms of glaucoma.

1. If you are emotional or stay in the dark for too long (such as watching movies, TV or working in a dark room), you will have eye swelling, headache, blurred vision, and a layer of clouds in front of your eyes, which is an early symptom of angle-closure glaucoma. After repeated recurrences, it is possible to suddenly enter the stage of acute glaucoma grand attack.

2. After getting up in the morning, it is difficult to read books and newspapers, and it is easy to have soreness at the base of the nose bridge and swelling and pain in the orbit and forehead. Because the intraocular pressure of normal people fluctuates day and night, it is generally higher in the morning and lower at night. In patients with glaucoma, the intraocular pressure fluctuates more in 24 hours, so the intraocular pressure is higher in the morning, and symptoms appear.

3. The visual acuity gradually declines, and the visual acuity correction of optometry glasses is not logarithmic on the eye chart, especially for people with high myopia, who often have headaches and eye swelling after wearing moderate glasses. Due to the elongation of the sclera (the white part of the eye) in high myopia, there is a noticeable decrease in elasticity. Therefore, when there is high intraocular pressure, the symptoms are not obvious or asymptomatic, the patient is easy to be negligent, but the vision is quietly lost, and the doctor is often easy to miss the diagnosis.

4. Usually drink a lot of water, and headache occurs when drinking more than 300 ml of water at a time. This is because drinking water quickly and in large quantities can cause blood dilution to cause a decrease in osmotic pressure, and the amount of aqueous humor entering the eye will increase, resulting in an increase in intraocular pressure. Patients often present with eye swelling headache 15 to 30 minutes after drinking water.

Presbyopia develops before the age of age (which should be distinguished from earlier onset of presbyopia in hyperopia), especially in women, and the presbyopia changes rapidly, requiring frequent changes in glasses. This may be related to decreased ocular accommodative ability and is directly proportional to the degree of early glaucoma lesions.

1.Acute angle-closure glaucoma: symptoms are acute, manifested by sudden hazyvision and iridescence, with frontal pain or soreness at the base of the nose.

At the onset of the disease, the anterior chamber is stenosis or completely closed, and the symptoms are sudden onset of severe eye swelling, eye pain, photophobia, tearing, headache, sharp loss of vision, hard as stones, conjunctival hyperemia, accompanied by nausea and vomiting and other systemic symptoms. An acute attack can be followed by a chronic phase of persistent optic nerve damage until the optic nerve is severely damaged and vision is reduced to an absolute phase of lossless and irreversible.

2.Chronic angle-closure glaucoma: onset age 30 years of age.

This type of seizure usually has obvious triggers, such as eye dryness, fatigue and discomfort, swelling pain, blurred vision or decreased vision, iridescence, dizziness, insomnia, and increased blood pressure, which can be relieved by rest. Some patients can go blind without any symptoms, and this type is most likely to be misdiagnosed. On the contrary, once the anterior chamber angle is adhesion closed, fulminant glaucoma can be formed.

3.Primary open-angle glaucoma: it mostly occurs in people over 40 years old, 25% of patients have a family history, the vast majority of patients have no obvious symptoms, often the disease develops to an advanced stage, and the visual function is severely impaired before it is noticed, although the patient's intraocular pressure is increased, the anterior chamber angle is always open.

First of all, bad lifestyle habits are one of them, smoking, alcoholism, daily life, irregular diet, habitual constipation, intractable insomnia, etc., may cause the onset of glaucoma.

Early symptoms of glaucoma.

Usually drink more water. Glaucoma patients experience headaches when they drink more than 300 ml of water at one time. The reason for this is that the osmotic pressure caused by blood dilution decreases, and the intraocular pressure entering the eye also increases, which causes the intraocular pressure to increase.

In addition, if glaucoma has been diagnosed in one eye, the other eye must be closely observed.

The method of glaucoma ** is to reduce or control intraocular pressure, and the American pupil kernel uses traditional Chinese medicine formula: Senecio, wild chrysanthemum, etc., which is unpopular and easy to use, and does not affect life.

Glaucoma patients should increase the intake of foods rich in crude fiber, eat more foods rich in vitamins A, B, C, and E, such as fresh vegetables and fruits, and moderate amounts of pork liver, fish, meat, whole grains, vegetable oil, etc.; Eat more wolfberries, peanuts, walnuts, soy milk and other foods that nourish the liver and kidneys.

In the acute attack of glaucoma, patients sometimes ignore the eye symptoms due to symptoms such as intractable insomnia, severe migraine, nausea and vomiting, and irritability, and mistakenly think that it is acute gastroenteritis or neurological disease, and go to the department of internal medicine or neurology.

In patients with chronic glaucoma, the clinical symptoms are not obvious or the symptoms are relieved after rest, and the precious opportunity is lost, the optic nerve in the fundus continues to atrophy, and the vision is gradually lost unconsciously, and finally blindness.

There are two reasons why glaucoma causes irreversible damage to visual function and even blindness: first, severe optic neuropathy is present at the time of diagnosis; Second, in the process of **, he failed to follow the doctor's instructions to order drugs to control intraocular pressure, resulting in continuous deterioration of optic neuropathy.

Although glaucoma cannot be "broken"**, the vast majority of patients can maintain their current visual function if detected early and appropriately** (including drugs, lasers, and surgery). Symptoms can also be relieved with daily care.

The Department of Ophthalmology of the Hunan Armed Police Corps Hospital will answer for you:

1.Nausea and vomiting: Nausea and vomiting caused by gastrointestinal diseases are also very common, but they are often accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal pain or changes in the frequency of stools, which can be relieved with anti-nausea and analgesic drugs, which can be differentiated.

In contrast, nausea and vomiting during an attack of glaucoma will only lessen or disappear when the intraocular pressure drops. Sometimes the intraocular pressure may drop after vomiting, and there will be a temporary improvement, but the intraocular pressure is still high, and rainbow vision and headache are still present. This is one of the early symptoms of glaucoma.

2.Visual impairment: Glaucoma has significant vision loss during acute onset.

In addition to corneal edema, it is mainly caused by damage to the optic nerve caused by increased intraocular pressure. The higher the intraocular pressure, the more severe the optic nerve is compressed, and the more obvious the vision loss. In the early stage, patients do not have obvious vision loss, only at night there is foggy vision and blurred vision, after a good rest, it disappears the next day, which is an early symptom of glaucoma, which must not be ignored.

3.Headache: Headache is often the first symptom in people with glaucoma.

However, unlike general headaches, sedatives and analgesics can be relieved. Because glaucoma headaches occur when the eye pressure increases, it compresses the eye tissues and is only relieved or eliminated when the eye pressure drops. Glaucoma headache is often accompanied by pain in the orbit and base of the nose, and monocular headache can also manifest as severe migraine.

4.Rainbow vision: It means that when the patient is ill, there will be a rainbow-like circle of light around the light.

The outer ring is red, and the inner ring is green or violet-blue. This is due to corneal edema caused by impaired intraocular fluid circulation after increased intraocular pressure, resulting in refractive changes. When the intraocular pressure returns to normal, the rainbow vision disappears.

However, iridis is not a symptom specific to glaucoma and can occur when the lens is cloudy or there is discharge from the conjunctiva, but the hue is not as vivid as typical iridescence. Unlike glaucoma, iris is episodic, and it is not accompanied by symptoms such as headaches.

Glaucoma is high intraocular pressure.

It is a severe ophthalmopathy that causes optic nerve atrophy. Regardless of medication or DU surgery, the development of cyanotic photoma can be controlled as long as the intraocular pressure is reduced to normal. Patients with unconditional and frequent follow-up of intraocular pressure should be surgical**; If intraocular pressure can be followed up regularly, medications** may be used.

For the choice of drugs, you can try the American Tongren, which is based on the modern ophthalmic medical formula, using the world's leading ultra-clinical fluid extraction technology (SFE) of the American PENTA biotechnology, and adding powerful DS stock solution. This product is the perfect combination of modern high-tech pharmaceutical technology and traditional Chinese medicine extract formula in the United States, which can efficiently supplement eye nutrition, improve eye microcirculation, and promote eye metabolism.
