    Hello, glaucoma is an irreversible blinding eye disease. If left unchecked**, it can severely damage the vision of people with glaucoma.

    Glaucoma is caused by poor circulation of aqueous humor in the eye, and patients need to control their intraocular pressure in time in daily life. But glaucoma can only be controlled, not by. The main methods of control are: medication, lasers, surgery.

    Hopefully these suggestions you can thank you

    Eye hygiene should not be neglected, patients should avoid reading in bright light, do not stay in the dark room for too long, sufficient soft light is the key to protect the eyes, and avoid excessive eye use. In addition, it is very important to eat nutritious diet, eat more tomatoes and other vegetables, you must do regular eye examinations, and you can insist on doing eye exercises every day. Pay attention to the rational use of your eyes, and learn to relax your eyes when staring at TV for a long time.

    Eat sensibly and don't eat spicy food. Control alcohol consumption and avoid eye damage. It is usually recommended to use two cups of (Jiuwei Tongren Tea) a day to improve metabolism, promote the discharge of aqueous humor, reduce intraocular pressure, and protect the health of eye cells.

    Glaucoma refers to an eye disease in which the pressure in the eye is intermittent or continuously elevated, as long as there is an attack of glaucoma, surgery is recommended**, surgery can fundamentally solve the symptoms, early surgery can relieve the pressure on the optic nerve and retain more vision.

    Primary glaucoma is divided into angle-closure glaucoma and open-angle glaucoma according to the state of the anterior chamber angle when the intraocular pressure increases, and the angle-closure glaucoma is divided into acute angle-closure glaucoma and chronic angle-closure glaucoma according to the severity of the onset.

    1.Acute angle-closure glaucoma.

    The occurrence of acute angle-closure glaucoma is caused by the sudden narrowing or closure of the atrial angle in the eye, and the aqueous humor cannot be discharged in time, causing the aqueous humor to be full and the intraocular pressure to rise sharply. It is more common in middle-aged and elderly people, 90% of them are over 40 years old, and the incidence rate of women is higher, the ratio of men to women is 1:4, the onset is violent, the symptoms are acute, and there may be transient or repeated small seizures before the acute onset, which is manifested as sudden foggy vision and rainbow vision, accompanied by forehead 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.

    The age of onset is over 30 years old. This type of attack generally has obvious triggers, such as emotional agitation, visual fatigue, excessive use of eyes and brain, long-term insomnia, habitual constipation, women during menstruation, or improper local and systemic medication, etc., can be induced, manifested as dry eyes, fatigue and discomfort, swelling pain, blurred vision or decreased vision, rainbow vision, dizziness, insomnia, increased blood pressure, and can be relieved after rest. Some patients can be blind without any symptoms, and the intraocular pressure may be normal or fluctuating during examination, or not too high, 20 30 mmHg, and the fundus may be normal in the early stage, which is most likely to be misdiagnosed.

    In this way, once the anterior chamber angle is adhered to and closed, fulminant glaucoma can be formed.

    There are four early symptoms: Frequent eye strain and discomfort. Eyes are often sore, which is relieved by rest. Blurred vision, myopia, or sudden deepening of presbyopia. Eyes often feel dry.

    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 elevated, the anterior chamber angle is always open.

    Glaucoma is a common eye disease, mainly manifested by increased intraocular pressure, and now the incidence is very high, and the age of more frequent is over 40 years old, and patients of all ages have it. Glaucoma is divided into many types, ** is also more complicated, you have had surgery at the age of 27 may be due to congenital angle structure poor development, there is a type called juvenile glaucoma may you belong to this situation, such patients have a younger age than you are also a lot, the specific diagnosis should refer to the doctor's diagnosis. The first thing I want to say is that you don't have to panic or be scared because you have this disease, you should have no problem getting married, hehe.

    Glaucoma is a disease that causes progressive vision impairment and reduced visual field and, if left undone, can eventually lead to blindness. If it is detected and diagnosed early, and if it is properly used, the intraocular pressure will not progress to the level of severe or even blindness if the intraocular pressure is controlled within an appropriate range according to the doctor's instructions. As a glaucoma patient, I would like to offer a few suggestions:

    1.Once diagnosed, glaucoma patients may have to take medication to control their intraocular pressure for the rest of their lives, and if necessary, they are still undergoing surgery or multiple surgeries to control it. 2.Believe in the doctor and cooperate with the doctor, regularly follow the doctor's instructions to the hospital for follow-up, glaucoma patients must have multiple follow-ups, so that they can take timely measures when the condition changes, and go to the hospital immediately when they feel that the condition has changed, such as aggravated eye pain; 3.

    Personal emotional and psychological conditions have a great impact on the onset of this disease, such as some patients are prone to acute high intraocular pressure when they are angry, agitated and fatigued, so patients should pay attention to controlling their emotions; 4.Glaucoma is more common in both eyes, and the onset time is sequential, if you have an aura in your other eye, you should detect it as soon as possible, if you take preventive or ** measures such as doing a small laser periidotomy in the outpatient clinic, the other eye may not develop the disease for life.

    If you are sick, you should know more about your condition and pay attention to preventing it, follow the doctor's advice, and use eye drops every day as if you were eating and sleeping. Wishing you a good mood every day!

    If you have eye pain, or even nausea or vomiting, go to the hospital for further detailed examination in time to avoid delaying the condition.

    Patients with glaucoma should have regular follow-up visits to monitor their intraocular pressure, and as long as the condition is well controlled, they are not necessarily blind.

    Glaucoma is a type of optic neuropathy, an eye disease in which the pressure inside the eye is intermittent or continuously elevated. Depending on the cause, intraocular pressure may have different symptoms. Persistent high intraocular pressure can cause damage to all parts of the eyeball and visual function, resulting in irreversible vision loss and visual field reduction.

    If left untimely**, vision may be lost or even blinded. Therefore, glaucoma is one of the most common blinding diseases.

    Age and gender factors, open-angle glaucoma mostly occurs around 30 years old, there is no obvious gender difference, and patients over 45 years old with angle-closure glaucoma account for glaucoma patients, and women are more than men.

    Glaucoma is caused by increased pressure in the eye, which may be caused by poor backflow or a blockage. Sometimes the disease progresses rapidly, and in severe cases, blindness is quickly lost. If the disease is slow, it will gradually progress to blindness.

    If angle-closure glaucoma occurs, surgery can be done**. Open glaucoma is not effective with surgery. Only drugs can be used to reduce tear pressure, which can be reversed.

Glaucoma is an eye disease in which the intraocular pressure is abnormally high and can lead to blindness in severe cases. Normal intraocular pressure is the result of a dynamic equilibrium between the amount of aqueous humor produced and discharged in the eyeball. Aqueous humor is the fluid that nourishes the cornea (dark eyeballs), but excessive production of aqueous humor or poor drainage of aqueous humor can increase intraocular pressure and lead to glaucoma. >>>More
