What Are the Symptoms of Glaucoma in Children?

Glaucoma in children is a disease that causes optic nerve damage. The optic nerve is composed of many nerve fibers. When the intraocular pressure increases, it can cause damage to the optic nerve fibers and cause visual field defects. Early minor visual field defects are often difficult to detect, and severe damage to the optic nerve can lead to blindness.

1. To control the amount of water, generally do not drink more than 500 ml. Because drinking too much water at one time will lead to high dilution of blood and decrease in plasma osmotic pressure, which will result in relatively more aqueous humor and increase intraocular pressure. 2. Experts from China Ophthalmology Network introduced that patients should achieve "three taboos", namely, avoid tobacco, alcohol, and strong tea. Such as excessive smoking, nicotine in tobacco can cause retinal vasospasm, leading to ischemia of the optic nerve, cyanide in tobacco can also cause toxic amblyopia and impair visual function. Heavy drinking can cause eye congestion to worsen and even lead to an acute attack of glaucoma. Drinking strong tea can easily make people excited, causing secondary increase in intraocular pressure. 3. Eat more digestible food, pay attention to food hygiene, avoid intestinal infectious diseases, and maintain smooth stool. Eat less or no irritating foods, such as peppers, green onions, and peppers. Keep your spirit happy, and avoid excessive mental stress that can cause elevated intraocular pressure. Lianxin, wheat flakes, walnut meat, etc. have a soothing and soothing effect, and patients with glaucoma can eat more.

   How to treat glaucoma:

   15 grams of oyster porridge, 9 grams of barley, 6 grams of tangerine peel, 60 grams of rice. Add the first three flavors of decoction, add rice and cook the porridge after removing the residue. 1 dose per day for 10 days, effective for those with chronic yin deficiency.

   Laizizi Carrot Drink Laizizi 20 grams, the right amount of carrots. First put the rice dumplings in a small gauze bag and cook with the chopped carrots. After the carrots are cooked, remove the rice dumplings and eat with soup. Once a day, it has the effect of reducing intraocular pressure.

   Bai Maogen Cassia seed drink 25 grams of white cassia root, 25 grams of cassia seed, after washing, add an appropriate amount of water to cook to serve. Taken twice a day, morning and evening, it has the function of reducing intraocular pressure and eyesight.

   Honey Cassia Mint Drink 15 grams of honey, 5 grams of cassia seeds, 5 grams of mint leaves, brew together with boiling water, substitute tea. Long-term drinking has the effect of reducing eyesight.

2. We generally think that glaucoma is only available to the elderly, and in fact, children with glaucoma are not a minority. Congenital glaucoma is common: it is afraid of light when it is born, and it will shed tears; the part of the black eyeballs looks larger. Due to the high intraocular pressure, the cornea becomes cloudy and the eyes do not look clear.
