Symptoms of senile glaucoma

summary

Glaucoma is a common disease in Ophthalmology, and it is also a great harm to the eyes. It will not only reduce the vision of patients, but also bring harm to other parts of the body, such as headache, malignant vomiting and so on. Relevant experts have consistently shown that a correct understanding of the symptoms of glaucoma can enable patients to find the disease in time, and then go to the regular hospital for examination and treatment in time, so as to reduce the damage caused to patients by glaucoma. Let's talk about the symptoms of senile glaucoma.

Symptoms of senile glaucoma

Glaucomatosis has obvious visual loss in acute attack. In addition to corneal edema, the main reason is the damage of optic nerve caused by elevated intraocular pressure. The higher the intraocular pressure, the more severe the optic nerve compression, the more obvious the visual loss. Some early patients do not have the performance of visual acuity decreased significantly, only in the night fog and blurred vision, after a good rest, the next day disappeared, is the precursor of glaucoma, must not be ignored.

When the patient is sick, there will be a rainbow like aperture around the light. The outer ring is red, and the inner ring is green or purplish blue. This is due to increased intraocular pressure, intraocular fluid circulation disorders caused by corneal edema, resulting in refractive changes. When the intraocular pressure returned to normal, the iridescence disappeared. But the iridescence is not the unique symptom of glaucoma, lens opacity or conjunctival secretions can also occur, but the color is not as bright as the typical iridescence. It's also not like glaucoma's hyperopia, which is paroxysmal, and it's not accompanied by headache and other symptoms.

Headache is often a symptom of glaucoma, but also the earliest performance. But different from the general headache, it can be relieved by sedative and analgesic drugs. Because glaucomatous headache is caused by the pressure of ocular tissue caused by elevated intraocular pressure, it can be reduced or eliminated only after the intraocular pressure drops. Glaucoma headache is often accompanied by orbital, nasal root pain, monocular headache can also be manifested as severe migraine.

matters needing attention

In addition, we should also remind you that the harm of glaucoma to the eyes is very serious. We must pay attention to it and prevent it in time to protect the eyes. Experts suggest that once the above situation occurs in the eyes, we can timely use lutein products, lutein has a good protective effect on the retina.
