The fast pace of modern life doubles the pressure, many people's bodies are in a "sub-healthy" state, and more and more people are in a "three highs".
In addition to the familiar "three highs" of hyperlipidemia, hypertension, , and hyperglycemia, there is actually another health indicator that is often overlooked in the human body - intraocular pressure. Excessive intraocular pressure may trigger a blinding crisis, which is worthy of our attention!
What is high intraocular pressure?
Generally speaking, , the range of normal intraocular pressure is 10-21mmHg, which is a statistical value, representing the range of intraocular pressure in most normal people, and 24mmHg is high intraocular pressure.
Intraocular pressure fluctuates slightly, and the fluctuation mainly depends on the aquaculture. The aquaculture is constantly generated in the eyes and has the function of maintaining the intraocular pressure. If the aquaculture production increases and the discharge channel is blocked, the aquaculture cannot flow out, the intraocular pressure will increase.
What will happen if the intraocular pressure continues to rise?
The most common harm of increased intraocular pressure is to compress the optic nerve, causing optic nerve atrophy and visual field defect , which in turn induces glaucoma .
glaucoma is currently the world's number one irreversible blinding eye disease. The more optic nerve damage is, the more serious the vision loss will be. If the human eyes are compared to light bulbs, the optic nerve is like a filament. If the filament is broken, the bulb will be extinguished and it will be difficult to recover.
When there are the following symptoms, beware of high intraocular pressure:
1, Mirhead , Eye swelling
When the intraocular pressure increases, it will stimulate the trigeminal nerve endings, and patients often feel migraine and eye swelling.
2. Nausea and vomiting
Intraocular pressure increases, which will cause vomiting nerve excitement, and then feel nausea and vomiting.
3, vision loss
The optic nerve is damaged due to increased intraocular pressure. Many of them experience vision loss or foggy vision at night, and will usually disappear the next day.
4, Rongvision
Intraocular pressure increases, and color rings may occur when viewing the light.
How to prevent elevated intraocular pressure?
1 Reasonable choice of exercise
Slow exercise such as jogging or walking, the blood in the human body will flow more to the muscle tissue, reducing the flow to the ciliary muscle in the eyes, reducing the secretion of water abdomen and reducing the intraocular pressure. But squats, handstands and other movements may be counterproductive.
2 Actively treat primary disease
For groups such as high myopia, family history of glaucoma, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases , diabetes patients, the elderly, etc., they should actively treat primary disease and check the intraocular pressure regularly.
3 Pay attention to sleeping posture
Sleeping while lying on your stomach is prone to compression. This will cause excessive intraocular pressure to occur for a long time, temporary blurred vision, and damage your vision.
4 Reduce bad living habits
For example, staying in the dark for too long, bowing your head, reading for too long, overeating, etc.
