Glaucoma

glaucoma health eye

Glaucoma (glaucoma) intraocular pressure adjustment function of obstacles to abnormal increase intraocular pressure, thus depending dysfunction, and morphological changes associated with retinal disease. Because of the number of pupils with green green, it is this name


Glaucoma There are four main types: congenital glaucoma, primary glaucoma, secondary glaucoma, mixed glaucoma. Various types of glaucoma clinical performance and characteristics of different. Special here by Baidu Wikipedia, you elaborate on a variety of clinical symptoms of glaucoma. I hope Members of glaucoma can have a better understanding so that early detection and treatment.
First, congenital glaucoma: In accordance with the age of onset but also for infants and young glaucoma glaucoma. Following the 30-year-old glaucoma are such areas. The causes of congenital glaucoma is the process of embryonic development, the current angle dysplasia, resulting from the disruption of water, caused Yanyashenggao. 25-80% of patients within six months show that 90 percent of the children to be diagnosed at the age of one. 10% of the patients developed symptoms at the age of 1-6.
1. Infant glaucoma: 0-3-year-old general will be classified as such children with glaucoma. This type of congenital glaucoma is the most common. Mother, that is sick, slow or immediately after birth show symptoms. Eye diseases are generally, but not necessarily at the same time onset, but also in children with unilateral 25-30% incidence. Clinical eye for the obvious highlight after birth, Posi cow's eyes so that "bovine", Paguang, tears, Hei Rouyan, blepharospasm, corneal opacity unclear, crying easily agitated, poor diet or vomiting, Khan When more systemic symptoms. The prognosis of this type of timely diagnosis is crucial, because children are at eye-wall stage of development, Zha intraocular pressure, may be normal, and eyes with bad checks, so the lack of glaucoma rich Qiu book.
2. Juvenile glaucoma: age of onset between the ages of 3-30. This type of performance and open-angle glaucoma similar to the incidence of concealment, great harm. In recent years occurred in this multi-patients with myopia and a rising incidence of the trend. More than 90 percent of patients with glaucoma is not a typical performance for the symptoms, but in a "short-sighted, as fatigue, headaches, insomnia," and even unconsciously blind from treatment that is the only detailed examination of glaucoma. Some patients with glaucoma check out, but that's their mistake, I now have no feeling, vision can also, as the doctor can not be said of the less serious, truly blind, then regret it also too late, only suffering in the dark Through the lifetime.
Second, primary glaucoma: According to the former front-shape and the incidence of priority, is divided into acute and chronic angle-closure glaucoma, primary open-angle glaucoma, such as:
1. Acute angle-closure glaucoma: acute angle-closure glaucoma occurred due to a sudden narrow angle eyes on or off, the water can not be discharged in time, caused the water Zhang Man, intraocular pressure caused by a sharp increase. Multi-in in older persons, aged over 40 accounted for 90 percent. A higher incidence of female, male to female ratio of 1:4. Swift, powerful light show symptoms, the incidence of anterior chamber at the narrow or completely closed, showing a sudden onset of severe headache bulging eyes, a sharp drop vision, eye hard as stone, conjunctival congestion, nausea, vomiting, constipation big knot, high blood pressure, this When symptoms of heavier body easily misdiagnosed as gastroenteritis, encephalitis, nervous headache, and other diseases. If not timely diagnosis and treatment of 24-48 hours to completely blind no light perception, at this time "fulminant glaucoma," but some of the pain endured in the light of the strong, only for the performance of orbital and eye irritation, which The eye without any symptoms, and transferred to the forehead, ears, maxillary sinus, teeth and other pain. Acute angle-closure glaucoma, but in reality is a result of chronic angle-closure glaucoma from repeatedly deferred.
2. Chronic angle-closure glaucoma: This type of primary glaucoma in patients with more than 50 percent, age of onset over the age of 30 in recent years, with the accelerating pace of life, society is becoming increasingly fierce, mental work have dramatically increased the trend, This type of attack in general have obvious incentives, such as emotional, as fatigue, with eyes Yongnaoguoduo, long-term insomnia, constipation habits of women in menstruation, or in part, systemic medication properly, can be induced, for the performance of eye Dry, not fatigue, pain, Shiwumohu or vision problems, as Hong, dizziness pain, insomnia, high blood pressure. After the rest can alleviate some symptoms in patients with no blind, inspection, the intraocular pressure may be normal or volatility, or about 20-30 mmhg not too high, eyes early can be normal, the most susceptible to this type of misdiagnosis. So repeatedly before the attack angle can be closed once the adhesion fulminant form of glaucoma (see: acute angle-closure glaucoma).
Early symptoms are:
I often feel that eyestrain sick;

Second, the eyes often Suanzhang, after the rest will be eased;

Third, blurred vision, myopia or Presbyopia suddenly deepened;

4, eyes often feel dry.
3. Primary open-angle glaucoma: more than occurred in more than 40 people. 25% of the patients have family history. The vast majority of patients with no obvious symptoms, some up to the blind have no discomfort. Attack angle before opening. This type of diagnosis is the key, once the current Western medicine has been clearly confirmed to have the eyes to change, so must be comprehensive, carefully remove each of the patients have symptoms of glaucoma, early diagnosis and treatment, do not wait until diagnosed as non-only to the treatment of glaucoma, Have lost the best treatment at the time.
Third, secondary glaucoma: from the eye and systemic disease caused by glaucoma is such, the cause of quite complex, variety, is only briefly the most common of several secondary glaucoma:
1. Refractive errors (myopia and hyperopia) secondary glaucoma: As the refractive conditioning system disorders, ciliary muscle disorder, the constant loss of water production, coupled with the roots of oppression before the iris angle, the water from the disruption, caused tension Increased, the clinical features of such patients is conscious visual fatigue symptoms or no obvious discomfort, wearing glasses can not be corrected visual acuity, often misdiagnosed, it is a history of refractive errors can not be explained in the event of the eye should be very timely for a glaucoma Rich clinical experience of the doctor, detailed inspection.
2. Kok, conjunctiva, uveitis secondary glaucoma: ocular inflammation caused the water turbidity, ciliary muscle, iris, corneal edema, shallow angle, or pupil adhesion, trabecular network congestion, the water discharged from the normal IOP Increased. Western medicine in general this current antibiotics, hormones symptomatic treatment, anthropogenic interference with their own immunity so that the recurrent illness, protracted impaired.
3. Cataract secondary glaucoma: Crystal turbidity in the process of development, expansion of edema, or translocation lead to a relatively narrow anterior chamber, the water from the disruption caused Yanyashenggao, once after cataract surgery, and soon the blind optic atrophy.
4. Traumatic glaucoma: angle tear, breaking away from the roots of the iris, or hyphema, vitreous hemorrhage, retinal shocks, so that the water production, from the way blocked secondary glaucoma optic atrophy, such as traditional Chinese medicine treatment can be a positive prognosis is good, Surgery can repair the damage by eye, but their eyes from injury could not be rectified, so in general this type of patients treated at the time by Western medicine, that like, not treatment, has found that once the optic atrophy, resulting in serious Visual impairment.
4, mixed glaucoma: two or more primary glaucoma exist, with all types of clinical symptoms of the merger.
