- Chun, is slender, graceful dancers, in particular His eyes shine sunlight -- it is truly expressive. Recently, however, she admitted to the hospital because of blurred version was diagnosed with advanced glaucoma. Doctors told her that her vision was a little "steal" go, this naturally active, lively and carefree, she is a head-on blow, because her eyes were almost no feel discomfort in peacetime. Patients in the two weeks aunts and neighbors bed listening to Aunt Wang remarks were baffled doctors, who also glaucoma. Hung is a sudden severe pain to his right eye, however, with a severe headache, visual dramatic decline in the incidence Aunt Wang also vomited. She and the two types of treatment after hospitalization and emergency surgery, his condition has been through. Eyesight has returned to normal. Zhen's why doctors say even through glaucoma medication, surgery, the recovery is limited eyesight. has been caused by optic nerve damage is difficult to reverse?

In fact, there are two most common types of glaucoma, an acute congestive glaucoma. known primary angle-closure glaucoma, glaucoma attack congestive flush eyes, mydriasis, corneal edema. Since the refractive index of the reason that the pupil has the green light to launch, is resulting in the Name of glaucoma. Attack patients will be accompanied by headache, nausea and vomiting. But there is another more common type of glaucoma, chronic simple glaucoma. also known as primary open-angle glaucoma, this type is chun. The incidence of concealment, slow progress can be no early symptoms, but also a reflection "Qingguangkang." I went to the next plant found from time to time this type of glaucoma examination, the patient was hospitalized, Patients nearby, but the patient's vision had nothing left eye. Early damage to the optic nerve caused by glaucoma gradually decline to a certain extent.

Metabolism is a strong eye to vital organs, the eye movement of the existence of the living room is water, supply some nutrients to the eye structure and maintain the appropriate pressure or IOP eyeball. Because the water is endless cycle, and his eyes have the tremendous vitality. Acute congestive glaucoma, the angle is (Housing flowing out) for the closure, a defect in the drainage system. trigger a "aqueous swell," ÑÛ. Despite the ferocious, "Qingguangkang" evasively, but the operation "open angle" eliminate failures Housing enable more water to re-cycle, thus better treatment of this type of glaucoma. And chronic simple glaucoma early symptoms and the development of the middle and late stage when treatment has been very difficult, visual fallen much of doctors by surprise. Clearly, "is Qingguangkang" chronic simple glaucoma more harmful and, therefore, should have "security awareness". It was not so precious eyesight slowly "steal" light.

However, as the saying goes, "cunning fox hunters are terribly good." The offenders then smart would always leave some traces. Therefore, there can be some very simple glaucoma performance : First, it is more than normal IOP. Second, the signs of change are often seen videos. Furthermore, chronic simple glaucoma early visual field defect, which is caused by chronic intraocular pressure. These three conditions, in general hospitals have conditions for the examination. Due to the continuous development of medical science, many early diagnosis methods are continuously developed, such as visual electrophysiology, contrast sensitivity. color screening. We believe that if any of the following situations suspected of the disease should be done to the hospital for further examination. For example, ¢Ù family history of chronic simple glaucoma; Second, if the eye had the disease should be checked at the hospital as soon as possible to another eye; ¢Û slightly higher IOP normal; ¢Ü When some steroid use (hormone) drugs can cause significantly increased intraocular pressure; ¢Ý with high myopia or sexual discovered the morning of unknown causes reading difficulties; ¢Þ Students found to central retinal vein occlusion; ¢ß reading glasses required frequent replacement of older persons.
