15 years inside the eyes grow “creeper” “Doctor, I really can only wait for the eyes slowly blind?” 53-year-old Ms. Pan face anxious, their foggy look at the world has been 15 years, during the visit to Yancheng, the doctor was at his wits’ end, let her prepare for eye blindness. Then Ms. Pan’s eyes in the end how? Ms. Pan’s eyes have pterygium, due to the long time and heavy degree of lesions, pterygium has invaded into the transparent cornea, blocking the pupil area, so Ms. Pan’s vision is becoming increasingly blurred, and for many years there has been no effective treatment, so that the local hospital sentenced to “death” (death penalty) for both eyes. The local hospital sentenced both eyes to “death” (waiting for the eyes to go blind). This superfluous tissue that spreads over the eyes like a creeper is medically known as pterygium and is a common condition. Many people in the initial symptoms is a little red blood, their own discomfort is not strong, so they will not pay attention to, wait until the appearance of blurred vision, or even blindness, not only the existence of the difficulty of treatment, such as surgery may be dug at a deeper angle, it is possible to affect the eyes in the later stages of the eyes of the eyes of vision restoration and the basic function of the eyes. Secondly, the amniotic membrane transplantation that is generally used also requires a high level of skill for the doctor to operate the amniotic membrane. In fact, through the “pterygium excision combined with amniotic membrane transplantation”, the so-called “pterygium” was successfully excised to remove the pterygium that shielded the light, relieving the vision loss caused by the light blockage of the diseased tissue, and the vision was restored from a blurred piece of light to about 0.6. The vision of several patients treated in the ward is recovering well, and several of the patients treated in the early stage have been discharged from the hospital with good follow-ups. Why this blindness is 15 years? Ms. Pan is a farmer in Yancheng, 53 years old, from about 15 years ago, blood began to appear in the left eye of the eye, because it does not hurt, did not care. Ms. Pan herself can’t remember exactly when she started to feel blurred, and has always felt foggy. Once the daughter came home to see Ms. Pan eyes from the corner of the eye to grow a thin layer of things, advised her to go to the hospital to see, Ms. Pan want to deal with crops all day long, can eat, can sleep, the body is strong, which is so “delicate”, has not been taken seriously until the last half a year, the two eyes are blurry, especially around, can barely see a little light source, can only see a little light source. Only barely see a little light source, only afraid, to the local hospital to consult, but was told, because the pterygium grows too big and too deep, can only be told to give up treatment. Pterygium like climbing on the tiger grows all over the eyeballs shielding light “in our rural areas, almost eighty-nine percent of people of my mother’s age have this disease, people actually do not care, really can not see, only to think of to seek medical attention.” Ms. Pan’s daughter told reporters, “I didn’t expect this common disease to directly make the eyes blind.” Indeed, pterygium has a higher incidence in outdoor workers, people who live close to areas with strong sunlight for a long time, and people who have been farming for a long time, and it is related to air pollution, ultraviolet radiation, and poor hygiene. Pterygium, the hypertrophied bulbar conjunctiva in the lid fissure area and the fibrovascular tissue under it, invades towards the cornea in a triangular shape, which resembles the shape of a pterygium and thus gets its name. Pterygium is one of the common external ophthalmopathies in the elderly, but the age of onset is decreasing with the increase of factors such as environmental pollution and excessive eye use. Therefore, the current related research is also being carried out, that is, the onset age of pterygium is younger, whether it is with the modernization of all kinds of electronic products are prevalent, young people spend a lot of time staring at the cell phone, computer monitors have a certain tendency, so it is recommended that young people pay attention to the protection of vision, blinking, more eye massage, to alleviate eye fatigue, and in the early stage of the onset of the disease, appropriate use of lubricating eyedrops to improve the symptoms. Have you ever heard of amniotic membrane planted in the eye? Because the pterygium in Ms. Pan’s left eye grew deep and large, invading from the corner of the eye all the way to the pupil, the difficulty of the surgery lies in the fact that it is prone to cause perforation of the eyeball, corneal scarring, scleral necrosis, and a number of other problems. Moreover, if we simply use excision only, it will not only make it difficult for the incision to heal, which will lead to the above mentioned problems, but also prone to cause a recurrence (the general recurrence rate is 20% – 30%). Therefore, Director Liu i combined amniotic membrane transplantation with pterygium excision. During the operation, the amniotic membrane is required to fit the eyeball “seamlessly” For the amniotic membrane, as soon as I heard it, I thought it was the cornea of the sheep’s eye, in fact, it is the most nutritious layer of membrane in the placenta of our human body, first of all, it contains a variety of growth factors and stimulating factors, which can promote the growth of epithelium, hyperplasia, enough to repair the damage and resistance to infection, and secondly, it is not immunogenic, basically there will be no rejection, and more importantly, it does not have any immunogenetic properties. Secondly, it is non-immunogenic, basically no rejection reaction, and even better, it can dissolve itself. However, even if the amniotic membrane has many benefits, if the surgical technique is not subtle, the thin layer of membrane is easy to be disobedient, may be 1-2 days, the amniotic membrane are falling out, it is easy to fail to achieve the therapeutic effect. Prevent conjunctival lesions tips: from more blinking For outdoor workers, the prevention of pterygium first of all to properly protect the eyes, outdoor activities to minimize the high intensity of ultraviolet rays of the time period, you can wear sunglasses to prevent the wind and sand, ultraviolet damage to the eyes. For young people, in fact, to relieve eye fatigue, discomfort, there are many ways, blinking is one of the simplest methods, blinking, eyelids will make the tears on the surface of the eye to form a layer of liquid film – tear film, can make the surface of the eye to keep moist. You can also do some eye massage. Squeeze the eyeming point: use the thumb of one hand to gently rub the eyeming point (the root of the nose next to the inner canthus of the eyes) first downward pressure, and then upward squeeze; knead the four white points: from the index finger of the hand to knead the central part of the cheeks of the four white points (orbital lower margin of the center of the lower straight down a cross finger); press the solar plexus, wheel scraping the eye sockets: from the thumb of the hand to pressure the solar plexus (eyebrow tip and the corner of the eye of the center of the back of the cross finger), and then use the curved second section of index finger to gently scrape the inner side of the eye orbit a circle Then use the second section of the curved index finger to gently scrape the eye orbital circle, from inside up -> outside up -> outside down -> inside down, so that the orbital periphery of the Zanzhu fish waist, Silk bamboo, pupil liao, after the ball, Cheng sob and other acupoints are massaged. Through the massage of these acupoints around the eyes, it can promote blood circulation around the eyes, promote the secretion of tears by the lacrimal gland and keep the eyes moist.
