The seventies of the elderly often wrestled and mistakenly thought that it was a glasses caused by a stroke.

Wuhan Evening News July 22 (Correspondent Ao Panpan) 71 -year -old lady Zhang always felt that something was blocked in front of her eyes and was blurred. She often fell when she walked. Because of the history of strokes, the old man mistakenly thought that all this was caused by the sequelae of stroke. Later, I found that these symptoms were caused by glaucoma. On July 19, the old man successfully completed the glaucoma surgery.

The old man lives in Laoukou District, Wuhan. Since five years ago, the elderly have blurred eyesight and continuously aggravated. However, what troubles her is that there is always a sense of obstruction in front of her eyes. To this end, it is easy to wrestle when you don't pay attention to it. "My head, hands, and knees have been injured." Because there was a history of stroke before, the old man always thought that this was a sequelae of stroke, and he didn't care too much. Until recently, the old man was looking at things more and more blurred that he urged his family to go to the hospital to check his eyes.

Director Wu Liping was carefully checked for the elderly.

Wu Liping, director of the glaucoma department of the hospital, found that the elderly's right eye vision was 0.4, the left eye vision was 0.4, and the eye pressure was at the critical value of glaucoma, but most of the corners of the front room in front of the eyes were closed. Both eyes chronic angle closed glaucoma ".

In order to preserve vision and prevent vision from further loss, doctors recommend surgery for surgical treatment.

On July 19, Wu Liping had a knife in person, and successfully completed the operation for the elderly in less than 2 hours under the team. The elderly are still in the hospital for recovery.

Wu Liping introduced that chronic closure glaucoma sometimes has a small attack, which is manifested as mild eye bloating headache and blurred vision. Occasionally, there will be a rainbow vision phenomenon, mostly in the evening, and it will soon be relieved by itself. Because these early symptoms are not obvious, and they are not particularly discomfort, it is difficult to pay attention to patients. What's more, when the central vision was damaged, it was discovered, but the loss of vision that was lost at that time could not be recovered.

Wu Liping reminded the majority of middle -aged and elderly people that if the old flower mirror needs to be replaced frequently, the difficulty of reading in the morning, the scope of Yu Guang's seeing (in fact is actually the field of vision) when you look forward. There is a history of glaucoma in the family, which should be attached great importance to it and go to the hospital for treatment in time. Because these seemingly unrelated clues are likely to be the "horse's foot" exposed by glaucoma.
