In today's Internet era, "screen swiping people" at night has become a common group of people, playing mobile phones, watching short**, chasing dramas or browsing news has become a habit for more and more people, and even likes to stare at the electronic screen for a long time in the dark or dimly lit environment. And this not only damages vision, but can even induce glaucoma.
According to relevant data, the number of primary glaucoma patients in the world has exceeded 76 million in 2020, and this number is expected to grow to more than 100 million by 2040. With the gradual aging of the population, the incidence of glaucoma in China is on the rise. By 2020, the number of glaucoma patients in China has reached 21 million, of which more than 5 million are at risk of blindness.
Although primary glaucoma cannot be completely **, as long as the intraocular pressure is controlled and actively**, it can maintain lifelong vision. So what is primary glaucoma? What are the best ways to do it?
Primary glaucoma is divided into angle-closure glaucoma and open-angle glaucoma. The angle of angle-closure glaucoma is closed, and the aqueous humor is easy to block in the pupil, resulting in an increase in intraocular pressure, which can easily cause symptoms such as eye swelling, headache, and blurred vision. The angle of open-angle glaucoma is open, and the drainage of aqueous humor in the trabecular meshwork is not smooth, resulting in an increase in intraocular pressure, and as the disease progresses, it is easy to have symptoms such as mild eye swelling, visual fatigue, and iridus.
Patients with either angle-closure glaucoma or open-angle glaucoma should seek medical attention in time once they have similar symptoms**. Angle-closure glaucoma generally requires surgery**, while open-angle glaucoma is generally preferred**.
Currently, there is a new type of prostaglandin, Teprolos eye drops, which can be used as the first-line drug of choice for open-angle glaucoma. It can not only reduce intraocular pressure, but also improve eye bleeding, effectively reduce optic nerve cell apoptosis, and delay the rate of loss of vision in glaucoma patients.
At the same time, Tepros eye drops can also protect the optic nerve and promote blood flow to the optic nerve papilla in glaucoma patients, so that the blood circulation in the eye is smoother. Moreover, Tepros eye drops have been included in the medical insurance, which not only brings benefits to glaucoma patients in terms of effect, but also greatly reduces their burden, which is a great news. However, glaucoma patients should still follow the doctor's instructions to take the medication and never self-medicate.
In addition, people at high risk of glaucoma, such as those with high intraocular pressure, older age, family history of glaucoma, high myopia or high blood pressure, have some lifestyle habits to prevent glaucoma that need special attention:
1. Try to avoid using mobile phones or other electronic screen devices for a long time in a dark environment, which can reduce eye pressure and fatigue.
2. Pay attention to a nutritious and balanced diet, and consume enough vitamins and minerals, especially nutrients that are beneficial to the eyes, such as vitamins A, C, E and zinc.
3. Maintain a regular schedule and ensure adequate sleep, which helps the eyes rest and recover.
4. Regular eye examinations, especially those who have a family history of glaucoma, should pay more attention to find and ** in time.
5. Manage other health problems, such as high blood pressure and diabetes, as these diseases may also increase the risk of glaucoma.
As soon as signs of glaucoma appear, medical help should be sought immediately. Whether it's through surgery or medications**, such as Teprolos eye drops, there is still a chance to preserve lifelong vision if it is timely**. For people at high risk of glaucoma, it is also important to improve their lifestyle habits, including adjusting their diet reasonably, getting enough sleep, and avoiding staring at electronic screens for a long time.
