Mr. Gao had a headache recently, and he did not find abnormalities in CT in the brain. Gradually, he felt that his eyes were unclear and his vision was blurred. Whoever thought of this investigation not only found cataracts, but also cured the long -lost headaches. What is going on?

"There are really a lot of situations like Mr. Gao, and there are a few cases every month." Zhang Fangling, deputy chief physician of the ophthalmology department of Nanjing Second Hospital, said. "When cataracts expand their expansion, it will cause acute glaucoma. The reason is that with the increase of age, the volume of the crystal body continues to increase, and the inflated crystal squeezing the iris in front of the front room will narrow the corner of the front room, and the water can not flow normally, causing the symptoms of glaucoma such as eye pain, headache and even nausea and vomiting. "

After identifying the cause, the ophthalmology department implemented "cataract removal combined with artificial crystal implantation". After the operation, Mr. Gao didn't hurt his head, and his eyes could be clearly seen.

How does the elderly prevent cataracts?

1. Eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C, such as oranges, kiwi, cabbage cabbage, spinach, etc.;

2. If the sun is strong when going out, it is recommended to wear sunglasses to avoid ultraviolet damage to the crystal;

3. If there are hypertension, hyperglycemia, etc., timely treatment should be treated to keep blood pressure and stable blood sugar;

4. Chinese medicines such as Liuwei Dihuang Pills, Qiju Dihuang Pills, or Dendrobium Dihuang Wan also have certain preventive effects;

5, less wine and smoke, try to quit smoking as much as possible.

Finally, experts remind the elderly to do a routine health checkup and conduct ophthalmology examinations. It is found that the symptoms of vision loss, lighter room angle, and high intraocular pressure must be operated in time. You do n’t have to wait until the cataract is cooked before the cream is cooked.
