As an irreversible and blinding eye disease, glaucoma is not just for the elderly. Although age is an important risk factor for glaucoma, more and more young people in their 30s and 40s are also being diagnosed with glaucoma. As modern lifestyles change, glaucoma is showing a trend toward younger age groups. Many young people use computers for a long time every day, or read books with their heads down, live a fast-paced life, and rest on the table at noon when time is tight. Keeping a low posture for a long time, the head is congested with blood, which makes the blood in the eye gather more, and the eye pressure rises. Especially for people with hyperopia and shallow anterior chamber structure, if you use a computer or read a book in a dimly lit room, it is easy to cause pupil dilatation and induce acute attacks of closed-angle glaucoma. As society becomes more and more competitive, young people work under high pressure and are mentally stressed, and with the advent of the information age, people spend more and more time using their eyes, which can easily cause eye fatigue. Mental stress and eye fatigue may lead to vasoconstriction disorders, increased permeability, and increased secretion of atrial fluid, resulting in increased intraocular pressure. In the young population, the incidence of high myopia has increased in recent years, and patients with high myopia are more prone to open-angle glaucoma due to changes in the structure of the eye, making the optic nerve more susceptible to damage from intraocular pressure. Various types of secondary glaucoma also occur earlier with the rejuvenation of the primary disease. Cataract expansion tends to push the iris forward to obscure the atrial angle structures, causing poor atrial drainage and secondary glaucoma. Diabetic and hypertensive fundus lesions, if poorly controlled, can lead to neovascular glaucoma. The pollution of modern environment, the intake of high-calorie food, the overeating caused by various social functions, the popularity of tobacco and alcohol culture, and the lack of exercise in modern people have made the incidence of cataract, diabetes and hypertension increasing and with a trend of youth. On the one hand, these primary diseases may cause secondary glaucoma, and on the other hand, depression, irritability and depression caused by chronic diseases may also be a trigger for the development of glaucoma. The increase of various chemical agents in life has increased the number of people with eye allergy symptoms, while the long-term use of computers and driving vehicles by office workers has also increased the incidence of dry eye. In the face of these recurring minor illnesses that require long-term medication, people often think that it is too much trouble to go to the hospital and buy some eye drops on their own. However, some eye drops contain hormones, and long-term use can easily cause hormonal glaucoma. Some people who are sensitive to hormones even use a lot of hormone-containing skin care products for a long time and cause glaucoma. Of course, advances in science and technology and improvements in medical conditions have also led to earlier diagnosis of glaucoma, and the popularity of medical examinations and the upgrading of glaucoma screening equipment has moved the detection of glaucoma forward. As a result, more young glaucoma patients are now able to receive early diagnosis and timely treatment. Glaucoma is an irreversible and blinding eye disease, and once the optic nerve is damaged, it is irreversible. Therefore, young people should not take it lightly and neglect their health in their busy work and miss the best time for treatment. They should maintain a healthy lifestyle, a happy mood, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, regular medical checkups, and do not abuse drugs at will. Otherwise, glaucoma is not far from young people.
