Traumatic glaucoma symptoms?

summary

Glaucoma caused by ocular trauma is called traumatic glaucoma. Because it is secondary, it is also called traumatic secondary glaucoma. Glaucoma secondary to surgery also falls into this category. Glaucoma occurred in 5% - 8% of the patients with ocular trauma. The incidence of ocular contusion is higher than that of perforating injury. The time of glaucoma is from 1 hour to 30 years after trauma. Traumatic glaucoma symptoms? Let's talk about it.

Traumatic glaucoma symptoms?

1) Secondary glaucoma due to ametropia (i.e. myopia and hyperopia): due to abnormal regulation of refractive system, dysfunction of ciliary muscle, loss of aqueous humor secretion, and iris root oppression of anterior chamber angle, aqueous humor discharge is blocked, resulting in increased intraocular pressure. The clinical characteristics of such patients are self-conscious visual fatigue or no obvious discomfort, wearing glasses can not correct vision, and easy to be misdiagnosed, Therefore, patients with a history of ametropia should find a doctor with rich clinical experience of glaucoma in time for detailed examination once they have unexplained eye abnormalities.

2) Inflammation related glaucoma: intraocular inflammation causes aqueous humor turbidity, ciliary muscle, iris, corneal edema, shallow angle, or pupil adhesion, trabecular meshwork obstruction, aqueous humor can not be discharged normally, resulting in elevated intraocular pressure. At present, western medicine generally uses antibiotics and hormones for symptomatic treatment of this disease, which artificially interferes with the autoimmune function and makes the disease attack repeatedly and difficult to heal.

3) Glaucoma caused by cataract: ① glaucoma caused by lens expansion: that is, glaucoma caused by swelling stage cataract, which refers to glaucoma occurred in the swelling stage of senile cataract or when the lens is turbid and swollen after trauma. ② Phacolytic glaucoma: inflammatory glaucoma caused by lens protein leakage through lens capsule when it appears in mature or over mature cataract. ③ lens protein allergic glaucoma: it is relatively rare in clinic. It is caused by allergic reaction caused by lens protein after cataract surgery or lens injury.

matters needing attention

1. Glaucoma patients should maintain a stable mood, avoid mental tension or excessive excitement, and live regularly. 2. Glaucoma patients should not work at their desks for a long time to prevent eye blood stasis. 3. Glaucoma patients should pay attention to the weather forecast. When the strong cold air comes, they should reduce the time of outdoor activities as far as possible. They must add clothes to keep warm, and avoid going out as far as possible to avoid cold stimulation; For the elderly with a history of glaucoma, due to poor body regulation function, it is best not to go from a hot place to a cold place immediately, so as not to cause intraocular pressure fluctuations. 4. In case of eye pain, photophobia, tears, even headache, nausea and other symptoms, be sure to see a doctor in time. 5. Glaucoma patients should live a regular life, eat less stimulating food, do not drink a lot of tea or coffee, in order to prevent elevated intraocular pressure. 6. Glaucoma patients do not stay in the dark for a long time to prevent pupil dilation and increase intraocular pressure.
