What Are Common Glaucoma Contraindications?

Glaucoma usually affects only one eye, but the other eye is easily affected. Attacks often occur in the evening. When the acute glaucoma occurs, the vision is blurred, halos will be seen around the lights, and the cornea will start to fog. At this time, the eyes will often become red and painful. When the acute glaucoma is completely attacked, the patient will feel severe pain in the head and eyes, and the symptoms will continue to worsen and begin to worsen, and the symptoms of vomiting and collapse will follow. The cornea will appear more hazy and sometimes even dull and granular. At the same time, the eyeballs can be painful and feel swollen and hardened.

Chinese name

Acute glaucoma

Brief introduction

Usually affects only one eye

the reason

The drainage angle is suddenly blocked

Harm

Significant decrease in vision

Acute glaucoma is a disease in which the drainage angle is suddenly blocked, causing the circulation of aqueous humor secreted by the ciliary body to be blocked. Elderly people with hyperopia are more susceptible to the disease. The disease has a familial genetic predisposition. When the iris contracts to dilate the pupil,

In acute glaucoma, the iris causes acute obstruction of the angle of the room. The angle between the iris and the cornea of such a person's eyes is not as large or wide as normal. When the pupils are dilated too quickly or too large, the peripheral iris will "stack" on the drainage tube, and the drainage channel of the aqueous humor will be blocked. IOP increased rapidly. The ophthalmologist can find out if the corner is abnormally narrow through a simple routine check.

The angle between the iris and the cornea is too narrow, which can cause glaucoma when pupils are dilated with drugs or in a dark room for too long. Symptoms of acute glaucoma include severe headache, eye pain, nausea, vomiting,

1. With liver stagnation and qi stagnation type: evidence that the head is swollen and painful, and the eyes are cloudy, dark eyes are cloudy, such as breathing, the pupils are dilated, the lights are dizzy, the eye pressure is increased, the general symptoms are distressed, chest tightness, heating, food Lack of appetite, vomiting and general malaise, bitter mouth, red tongue, yellow tongue coating, and pulse count.

2. Water-wet internal resistance: Eye swelling from time to time,

1. Prompt treatment, or the iris will seal the drainage angle, causing permanent humoral water circulation disorder, which will affect the vision.

2. Keep your mood comfortable and quit.

3 No smoking, no alcohol, light diet, eat less fat and eggs, and stir-fry food.

4 Do not drink too much at one time.

5. Don't stay in the dark room for a long time, don't read books for a long time, don't sleep on your stomach, and bath water should not be overheated.

6. When working at a desk for a long time or reading a book, you should look up for 10 minutes every hour.

7. Prevent constipation.

1.Inhibit aldose reductase

Disturbance of glucose metabolism is one of the causes of clouding of the lens. Among them, sorbitol has been confirmed to aggregate in cells to form lens opacity due to lack of aldose reductase inhibitors. Therefore, delaying the formation of cataract by inhibiting aldose reductase has become one of the hotspots in the research of cataract drugs. At present, dozens of flavonoids have been found in foreign countries to inhibit aldose reductase activity. Some scholars in China have also studied this, such as insolubility and polymer protein content.

2. Provide nutrients directly to the eyes

Due to drug absorption, sufficient nutrients are absorbed through the body to penetrate into the bloodstream. The microcirculation directly provides a variety of urgently needed nutrients and the eye. Another part of the nutrients and moisture is absorbed directly through the skin surface through the use of American Pupil Eye Patch. It can directly reach the diseased part of the eye; it can promote blood circulation in the eye and repair damaged cells in the eye; at the same time, it can ensure that the retina, lens, and optic nerve get sufficient nutrition to ensure the normal metabolism of the eye.

3.Antioxidant effect

Many studies have shown that oxidative damage is an important mechanism for cataract formation. After oxidative damage, disulfide, methionine, iodoalanine, and high-molecular-weight reducible polymers are formed in the cataract lens, and there are reducible bonds in the cytoplasm-cell membrane protein; reduced glutathione in the cataract lens Decreased peptides, increased mixed disulfide bound to oxidized glutathione and proteins; cell membrane disintegration, malondialdehyde formation, decreased metabolic activity sensitive to oxidation, and increased concentration of potential oxides. Clinically, with age, a series of changes in the lens occur, such as yellowing of the lens to indicate the accumulation of pigments; the increase of high-molecular protein reduces the transparency; the change of protein structure exposes certain active groups, and these changes are more vulnerable to oxidative damage. Therefore, many current studies of traditional Chinese medicine start with improving the lens's antioxidant function, using antioxidants or antioxidant enzyme activators to eliminate or neutralize the oxidation products in the lens, thereby preventing or reversing the biochemical changes of the lens

How does traditional Chinese medicine treat glaucoma in the elderly? At present, the treatment of glaucoma mainly includes internal treatment, external treatment, acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods, as shown below:

Acupuncture: Acupuncture has a significant analgesic effect on glaucoma, especially during acute attacks, and may also have a certain degree of lowering intraocular pressure, and has a synergistic effect with other treatments. Acupuncture can be used to improve Depending on function. Therefore, acupuncture can be used as one of the treatments for glaucoma syndrome.

External treatment method: treatment of foreign objects

Internal governance law: Internal governance law emphasizes dialectical treatment. Through the treatment of Chinese salamander, clinical symptoms can be significantly reduced, and some patients can be treated.

Patients are irritable and irritable. Family members should take an attitude of understanding and provide comfort and thoughtfulness, and try to reduce the factors that cause the patient's emotional excitement, so as not to increase intraocular pressure.

Do not leave patients in the dark room for a long time to avoid pupil dilation

Glaucoma is one of the most common blinding diseases and is characterized by increased intraocular pressure, optic nerve atrophy, and visual field defects. in most cases,

1. If the patient's blood sugar is normal, you can take honey, watermelon, loofah, etc., because these foods have a diuretic effect, can accelerate the absorption of aqueous humor in the eye, reduce the production of aqueous humor, and help reduce intraocular pressure.

2, should increase the intake of foods rich in crude fiber, eat more foods rich in vitamins A, B, C, E, such as fresh vegetables, fruits, moderate amounts of pork liver, fish, meat, coarse grains, vegetable oil, etc. Seeds, peanuts, walnuts, soy milk and other foods to nourish liver and kidney.

3, glaucoma ^[3] vision damage is mostly related to the blood supply to the optic nerve. Therefore, the patient's diet should be lighter. Avoid high fat, high sugar and other foods, eat less stimulating foods such as pepper, do not eat easily thirsty Fried food.

4. The diet of glaucoma patients should be regular, not overeating, not being full, and slowing down, which is beneficial to the stabilization of the vascular, nervous and endocrine systems.
