Glaucoma patients should pay attention to: not to drink tea

Glaucoma patients should pay attention to: not to drink tea March 12 is World Glaucoma Day, glaucoma is the second cause of blindness worldwide, is an irreversible optic neuropathy. Intraocular pressure and optic nerve caused by inadequate blood supply to the optic nerve injury in his two most important factors, which damage the vision, rather than simply visual. The scariest aspect of glaucoma is irreversible and hidden two regular routine eye examination is the most important method of early detection, high-risk groups should also be regularly checked. Only early detection, early diagnosis of glaucoma is to prevent blindness, the best way to get effective treatment. People prone to glaucoma From infants to the elderly, of any age can suffer from glaucoma, but with the following conditions are apt to illness: 1. Aged over 40 years of age; 2. High myopia; 3. Diabetes; 4. A family history of glaucoma; 5. Hyperopia; 6. Blood circulation, blood pressure is too large. Must be reminded that there is no obvious early symptoms of most patients; 90% of patients do not understand their disease, when the vision loss of 40% or more, will be found. Found effective in the treatment of early Diagnosis of glaucoma can not rely solely on a ~ 2 checks to make judgments, to be combined number of inspections, combining history, comprehensive judgments, to make early and reliable diagnosis, so as to further guide the treatment, prevention of blindness to provide solid protection. Most of glaucomatous optic nerve damage is due to the aqueous within the eye caused by obstruction of the optic nerve can tolerate intraocular pressure more than the limits of intraocular pressure, which causes a slow progressive optic nerve damage. Although the intraocular pressure of glaucoma and other normal, but the supply of the optic nerve blood flow reduction, weakening the structure of the optic nerve, optic nerve dysfunction and then called normal tension glaucoma. Glaucoma is a lifelong disease, such as inappropriate treatment, will be exacerbated, leading to blindness. Although not completely cured, but early detection and effective treatment can be controlled. Prevent or delay the continued optic nerve injury, preventing further vision defects, preserving the existing visual function, in the best possible conditions to maintain the visual quality of life. For the treatment in two major areas, one by surgery (laser), medication to reduce intraocular pressure; the other is to protect the optic nerve, primarily through the eyes of drug to improve circulation and direct protection of retinal ganglion cells. Negative emotions to control intraocular pressure Glaucoma is a typical psychosomatic disease, glaucoma patients should have a healthy mental, emotional volatility will IOP controlled. Qu Bo, Director recommends that the glaucoma patients to learn self-regulation, to participate in wholesome recreational and cultural activities, such as poetry and painting, listening to beautiful music; have broad spiritual, to avoid emotional fatigue, Dabeidaxi to themselves in ease of mind and carefree, open-minded and pleasant personality best. Daily life as much as possible do the following: 1, glaucoma patients should avoid strong tea in their daily lives, coffee, cocoa and other stimulating drinks, they will stimulate the nervous system, causing elevation of intraocular pressure. A small amount of red wine on the intraocular pressure lowering effect is certain, but avoid alcohol because heavy drinking can cause eye telangiectasia, eye congestion increase, and even lead to acute glaucoma. 2, quit smoking. Because the nicotine in tobacco can cause retinal vascular spasm, leading to optic nerve hypoxia, cyanide can cause toxic amblyopia, visual function damage. 3, elevated intraocular pressure not to do exercise, such as the bow down too fast power-type exercise, psychological stress and intense collision sports such as weightlifting, push-ups, sit-ups, inverted, boxing, wrestling, fencing, football , volleyball, basketball. 4, the absolute proper motion of the lower intraocular pressure is good, such as jogging, walking, cycling, stair tread, do Guangbo Cao, Growing Flowers and so on. But the ride, if it is a small person perspective to be very careful. The swimming, diving these movements, the eye pressure is influential, must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
