Whenever there is a big reunion during the New Year's holidays.
The younger generation of electronics is always in their hands.
The old parents could only lie in the rocking chairs and listen.
But is that really the case?
Many elderly people have also started to keep their mobile phones in their hands!
With the popularization of electronic devices such as mobile phones among the elderly, we often hear the elderly at home say: "The largest font size of the mobile phone is not clear, and the eyes of walking are also blurry, and the old are old".
Be sure to take the elderly to the hospital in time to check, be careful is the precursor of some blinding eye diseases!
Cataract is the first eye disease in China, led by cataract, and the "vision thief" composed of four eye diseases, including glaucoma, myopic retinopathy, corneal disease, and diabetic retinopathy, will ruthlessly plunder the vision of the elderly.
Cataract is an eye disease with the largest blindness rate in China due to the degeneration of lens protein components due to various reasons such as trauma, radiation, aging, metabolic abnormalities, and drug poisoning.
It often manifests as:
Blurred and double vision.
The color of things becomes lighter, and it is difficult to distinguish colors.
Look at the lights and sunlight than before and there is an aperture.
Defects in the field of vision.
In severe cataracts, the eyeballs turn white.
Precautionary measures
1. Quit smoking and avoid alcohol.
2. Reasonable diet and balanced nutritional intake.
3. Avoid continuous irradiation of strong light and ultraviolet rays.
4. Control blood sugar and blood pressure.
Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in the world, and blindness is irreversible. Glaucoma is caused by intraocular pressure exceeding the limits of what the tissues within the eyeball, especially the optic nerve, can tolerate, compressing the eye and optic nerve, causing characteristic optic nerve atrophy and visual field defects.
It often manifests as:
Swollen eyes, eye pain, and a brightly colored aura around the light source.
Vision loss accompanied by headache, nausea, vomiting, etc.
Hardening of the eyeballs. Soreness at the base of the nose, swelling and pain in the forehead of the orbits, etc.
Precautionary measures
1. Seek medical attention in time for eye abnormalities.
2. Keep a good mood.
3. Exercise appropriately.
4. Avoid overwork and take proper rest.
After the development of high myopia (600 degrees), the risk of fundus lesions will increase significantly, and pathological damage to the eye caused by elongation of the eye axis is prone to posterior scleral uveal tumors.
In addition, high myopia is also prone to a variety of serious fundus lesions such as retinal detachment, retinal degeneration, retina and macular hole.
It often manifests as:
Persistent vision loss.
Distorted vision. Decreased dark adaptation.
Liquefaction, degeneration, and posterior detachment of the vitreous body lead to dark shadows and flashes of light in front of the eyes.
Precautionary measures
1. Patients with high myopia should have regular fundus examinations, 1-2 times a year.
2. Avoid strenuous exercise and eye trauma.
3. Avoid heavy physical labor.
Corneal diseases are one of the common blinding eye diseases that affect the cornea, including infection, tissue breakdown, and other genetic diseases. If the cornea is damaged, scarring can affect vision, and light can be blocked or distorted when it enters the eye.
It often manifests as:
Red eyes, painful eyes. Blurred vision, myopia or astigmatism occurs.
Increased discharge.
Extreme sensitivity to light.
Although genetic diseases (such as malnutrition) cannot be prevented, early detection and early** can help maintain vision.
Precautionary measures
1. Strictly follow the hygiene guidelines when wearing soft contact lenses.
2. Maintain good hygiene.
3. Do not wear soft contact lenses to sleep.
Diabetes mellitus can affect the blood vessels of the whole body, and the occurrence of diabetes in the eye will cause bleeding and exudation after the endothelial injury of the fundus, causing retinal ischemia and hypoxia, and compensating for the release of VEGF factor, causing abnormal neovascularization in the retina, causing severe retinopathy. There are no symptoms in the early stage, and as the disease progresses, it slowly eats away at vision.
It often manifests as:
There are no obvious symptoms in the early stages.
Involvement of the macula on the retina can cause varying degrees of vision loss.
In the later stage, the vitreous blood will mass, resulting in a sharp loss of vision or dark shadows that obstruct vision.
Precautionary measures
1. Exercise regularly to control blood sugar.
2. Rational use of drugs to control blood lipids and blood pressure.
3. Regularly check the visual acuity and fundus condition of the fundus department, and early laser photocoagulation intervention if necessary.
4. Eat reasonably.
Most of these blind eye patients can retain useful vision and avoid blindness under scientific and timely conditions.
Early detection, early detection, and early detection are also the principles of most blinding eye diseases.
Zhengzhou Zhuomei Eye & Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital is based on the national construction specifications of "second-level specialized hospitals", and benefits patients with "the technical level of first-class hospitals and the charging standards of second-level hospitals".
The Department of Ophthalmology has introduced advanced equipment and technology in the field of ophthalmology at home and abroad, comprehensively carried out myopia smart all-laser, all-femtosecond, half-femtosecond, ICL lens implantation and correction surgery, and introduced professional and international advanced equipment such as German Armas 1050RS excimer laser, Swiss Aomis ultra-breast glass cutting machine, Oubao non-mydriatic ultra-wide-angle fundus imager, French optical Tai ND:YAG fundus laser photocoagulation instrument, etc.

At the same time, professional ophthalmology diagnosis and treatment projects such as cataract, glaucoma, orbital disease, ocular surface and cornea, vitreoretin, children's strabismus amblyopia and **strabismus, pediatric ophthalmology, medical optometry and glasses are carried out to fully meet the various ophthalmic medical needs of patients.
