Daily life and work are almost never without “strain” on the eyes, a lifetime of companionship that most people seem to take for granted. As long as there are no specific signs of eye problems, we rarely pay attention to whether our eyes are “overworked” or not. Are they “occasionally damaged”? As an important organ of the human body, it is essential to take care of your eyes! What are the small actions that we ignore in our lives that can damage our eyes? How should we nourish and care for our eyes? High myopia and retinal detachment China is a country with a high prevalence of myopia, according to statistics, myopic people account for about 33% of our total population. In certain conditions or triggers such as excessive eye use, strenuous exercise or vibration, eye trauma, etc., vitreous clouding and liquefaction may occur, resulting in the more common clinical flying mosquitoes, that is, the consciousness of small black shadows flying in front of the eyes, when they pull the thin retina that may produce fissures, resulting in retinal detachment, causing a sharp decline in vision and eventually blindness This can lead to dramatic vision loss and eventual blindness. Of course, myopic friends do not have to be afraid, as long as enough attention can be paid to avoid such serious consequences. Clinically, I have met many people who quickly sought medical attention when such symptoms appeared, and through formal examination and early laser closure of the fissure, not only avoided the pain of surgery, but also preserved the original vision. However, there are also some people who are careless and think that their vision is not yet affected, and as a result, they do not come to the doctor until the retina is severely proliferated and shrunken, at which time, even if the retina is paved through surgery, their vision is permanently reduced or even disappeared, and they eventually regret their life. Tips: Here is a friendly reminder to all myopic friends, especially highly myopic friends, it is beneficial to have a regular annual comprehensive eye examination, while not overusing the eyes and avoiding strenuous exercise. The number two killer of human eyesight, glaucoma, is the number two killer of human eyesight. There are many types of glaucoma, and in addition to the elderly, children and young people may also suffer from it, so here is a brief introduction to two common types that can lead to blindness. Acute closed-angle glaucoma: It occurs mostly in middle-aged and elderly women, with symptoms such as headache, nausea, vomiting, red eyes and eye pain suddenly appearing under emotional excitement. At this time, high eye pressure has led to irreversible damage to the optic nerve, and vision cannot be fully restored or blinded. Chronic open-angle glaucoma: The onset is more insidious, and there can be no symptoms at all, or only slight eye swelling, nasal root pain, visual fatigue and other symptoms, which patients can easily ignore. I have seen a number of young people, because of myopia, vision has been significantly reduced when still do not pay attention to, thought it is myopia aggravated, to the Chinese hospital ophthalmology to request laser treatment myopia only to find out that it is advanced glaucoma, optic nerve has been significantly atrophied, nearly blind, at this time as a doctor, I am also deeply distressed. Tips: Here is a special note myopic patients are at high risk of this disease, so myopic friends need to be more vigilant. Improper prevention and treatment of diabetes may lead to retinopathy With the improvement of people’s standard of living, diabetes is gradually becoming more prevalent in China, and the number of blind people due to diabetic retinopathy has been on the rise in recent years. According to statistics, the chance of developing retinopathy is 28% for those who have diabetes for less than 5 years and 58% for those who have diabetes for more than 10 years. Of course, due to the insidious nature of the onset of diabetes, some diabetic patients have already developed severe retinopathy when diabetes is discovered, and may not even have diabetes-related symptoms, and only find out that they have diabetes at the same time when they first develop blurred vision and go to the ophthalmology clinic. Diabetic retinopathy is mainly due to the occlusion of microvessels caused by diabetes and insufficient blood supply to the retina, resulting in hemorrhage, exudation, neovascularization and other lesions, eventually leading to vitreous hemorrhage, retinal detachment and blindness. The key to treatment is blood glucose control and early intervention to improve the blood supply to the retina. In recent years, our ophthalmologists and endocrinologists have worked together to strengthen the education of diabetic patients, so that most patients are aware of the seriousness of this disease and can adhere to regular eye examinations, but there are still more patients who do not know much about it. Let’s work together to detect and treat the diseases that take away our light. In addition, recently found that there are some scammers in various communities, posing as medical personnel of the Chinese hospital ophthalmology, to some elderly people selling some wild fruits to cheat money, seriously damage the image of the Chinese hospital ophthalmology, please be vigilant, do not believe the fraudulent words, such as eye disease, must go to the regular hospital.
