There are many reasons for glaucoma, which can lead to eye swelling, headache, nausea and eventually blindness. Therefore, glaucoma should pay attention to the following points:
First, once there are symptoms such as eye swelling and pain, headache, nausea, and other acute attacks, it is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible.
Second, order eye drops on time.
Thirdly, in addition to regular examination and medication, patients are advised to go to the hospital for visual field and optic nerve fiber layer examination every 3 to 6 months.
Fourth, don't be too emotional, but keep a good mood. Glaucoma is directly related to emotional tension and excitement. Excessive tension and excitement can lead to fluctuations in intraocular pressure.
Fifth, drinking too much water can also lead to fluctuation and increase of intraocular pressure, so avoid drinking a lot of water. Medication according to doctor's advice:
Glaucoma patients usually need to take enough drugs according to the doctor's advice for a course of treatment, and are not allowed to stop taking drugs or change the dosage of drugs without permission, so as not to aggravate the condition and affect the control of the condition. Glaucoma patients can use timolol maleate eye drops and betaxolol hydrochloride eye drops under the guidance of doctors.
Strengthen eye care:
If you have glaucoma, you should also strengthen eye care. Don't use your eyes too much for a long time, read a book or watch a mobile phone in a strong light environment, and avoid strenuous exercise to avoid an increase in intraocular pressure.
Pay attention to diet conditioning:
Glaucoma patients also need to pay attention to diet conditioning. They should not eat spicy and irritating foods, such as peppers and mustard, nor should they smoke and drink, so as not to aggravate their illness, but they can eat more foods rich in vitamins, such as carrots and mangoes.
Glaucoma patients need to go to the hospital for regular re-examination, but also to maintain emotional stability, not excessive anxiety.
