When I stepped up and down the stairs frequently, Mr. Li at first thought that the vision was deteriorating, and was going to change the pairing glasses. I did not expect that after going to the hospital for examination, I was diagnosed with glaucoma.

Mr. Li, 38 years old, has been close to high school since high school, because the degree has been increasing, and he has to change a pair of glasses every half a year. Five years ago, Mr. Li, who did not want to change the mirror frequently, was going to perform myopia surgery, but during the pre -operation examination, he was found to be high intraocular pressure. The doctor was informed that there was a possibility of glaucoma and needed regular review. Mr. Li, who didn't care about it, didn't care too much. Until recently, he stepped on the stairs frequently. At first he planned to change the pairing glasses, so he realized that he should go to the hospital for examination.

Experts check for patients

After inspection, Wu Zuhong, director of the glaucoma specialist at the El Eye Hospital affiliated to Wuhan University, said that Mr. Li, who is 1,000 degrees of myopia, suffers from the original eye -opening glaucoma with the eyes of the eyes. The left eye has only a sense of light, and the right eye correction is only 0.1. The left eye pressure is 45mmHg, and the right eye pressure is 40mmHg. At the same time, it is also found that Mr. Li's cup plate ratio is 0.95 (the ratio of the cup disk of normal optic nerve should ≤ 0.3), which shows that the increase in eye pressure is not one or two months. It may have been for several years, and the long -term high eye pressure compressed the optic nerve, and the optic nerve has shrunk.

"Doctor, can my glaucoma be cured? Will it be blind?" Mr. Li was scared to be confused by the sudden bad news. "The best result of surgical treatment can only maintain the status quo. If it is not treated, the optic nerve atrophy will occur, which will eventually lead to irreversible vision defects and even blindness. "Director Wu Zuhong explained.

"In recent years, glaucoma patients have shown a younger trend, especially those with high myopia (the degree of myopia ≥-600 degrees). Many people have actually discovered that the vision has declined slowly, but there are no other symptoms. Normally myopia, not to go to the hospital in time to check, and it is too late to check it when you can't see it. "Director Wu Zuhong reminded that the visual function damage of glaucoma is irreversible. High -profile crowds of corner glaucoma -high myopia, you need to investigate glaucoma, find out early, treat timely treatment, and do not have the opportunity to delay the treatment.
