If you or your family members suffer from glaucoma, do not be afraid, please look at the disease correctly, to learn to treat the disease correctly, in addition to actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment, self-care is also quite important. 1, the mood should be good Many glaucoma patients have this experience: if the mood is bad today, the eye pressure will be higher. Indeed, glaucoma is a typical psychosomatic disease, mood swings are not only likely to induce acute attacks of closed-angle glaucoma, intraocular pressure fluctuations, but also increase blood pressure, vascular spasm, causing further damage to the optic nerve. Glaucoma patients should maintain a good state of mind. 2, a small number of times to drink water Many glaucoma patients believe that: with glaucoma, should drink less water, even if thirsty, should also limit the water. In fact, this idea is wrong! Glaucoma patients should drink water properly is more beneficial, but not a lot of water at once. 3, no need to avoid mouth Glaucoma patients do not need to avoid mouth, diet should be light. To avoid high-fat, high-sugar foods, more vitamin-rich foods (such as vegetables, fruits, coarse grains, etc.). Glaucoma patients also do not need to take “big supplements” after surgery, one is because the surgery is small and the body basically has no loss; the second is because after surgery to establish an effective atrial drainage channel, filtration wound should not heal too fast, especially scar body, the diet should be more light. 4, quit smoking and limit alcohol Glaucoma patients must quit smoking, because smoking will aggravate the damage to the optic nerve. Glaucoma patients who have the habit of drinking alcohol should also limit their alcohol consumption to a small amount as possible. 5, pay attention to warmth Every winter, glaucoma patients will have higher intraocular pressure than in summer. The onset of closed-angle glaucoma is also seen in the cold season. In order to avoid disease attacks, glaucoma patients or susceptible people with a family history of glaucoma should pay attention to keeping warm during the cold season. 6. Combine work and rest. Excessive fatigue is likely to trigger glaucoma attacks and elevated intraocular pressure. Glaucoma patients should pay attention to the combination of work and rest in daily life and not to use their eyes continuously for a long time. Do some aerobic exercises (such as jogging, gymnastics, etc.), which can also help reduce IOP. 7, be careful to wear sunglasses In a dark environment, the pupil will be dilated, easily induced closed-angle glaucoma attack. Therefore, patients with closed-angle glaucoma should be careful to wear sunglasses, and do not stay in the dark environment for too long.
