Glaucoma keeps a close watch on young people
Staff reporter Wang DanIn summer vacation time of this year, the clinic of ophthalmology department of every hospital met and examined a lot of young glaucoma patients. Glaucoma endangers it greatly as a group of complicated irreversible causing the blind eyes disease, known as stealing the bright one " The stealthy killer " . And teenagers suffer from glaucoma, because the initial symptom of disease is not obviously often ignored. When the patient perceived to some extent, had often already developed until later period, had caused the influence that can't be retrieved on the vision.Young people have increase trend to suffer from glaucomaReporter see square thunder in the intersection of Capital University of Medical Sciences and subsidiary the intersection of Beijing Tongren Hospital and the intersection of glaucoma and corridor of clinic ' Assumed name) When, this guy 1.8 meters in height is holding a pile of thick case histories on the hand. Square thunder read four heavy the intersection of Beijing and some the intersection of university and department of architecture, the right eye has been already almost blind before the 2 year, and will use many kinds of medicines to control the condition all the life.Interviewing the interval, the reporter notices many three forty -year-old middle-aged persons in the crowd waiting to go to a doctor outside the glaucoma clinic, there is a middle school student in school clothes even more. The square thunder tells reporters, at time when he receives treatment in hospital, a glaucoma patient with the ward is only 19 years old.According to the data that World Health Organization announced in 2005, glaucoma was causing the blind factor of the second in the world, second only to cataract is global primary importance irreversible to send to blind the intersection of eyes and disease at the same time. There are about 70 million glaucoma patients in all in the whole world, estimate that would be up to 80 million in 2020. The whole world because the persons who cause the eyes to lose one's sight of glaucoma account for 50% of the global blind person's total number.Glaucoma federation's managing director, Professor Wang NingLi of Vice President of Beijing Tongren Hospital in the world introduce to the reporter, though the crowd over 40 still mainly happens in glaucoma, in recent years, the number of the young patient of glaucoma has the tendency to rise gradually, the main reason is that teenagers' myopia is ill to lead to rise, the life style changes and the public pays close attention to the fact to the eye health one degree of raising, detection rate improves. However, how high on earth our country's blue and green little young mere eyes morbidity at present is it is unable to find out, so, need investigating glaucoma epidemiology of the crowd under the age of 40 badly.Highly near-sighted and in close relation with glaucomaWang NingLi points out, mainly there are 3 kinds of glaucoma that the crowd under the age of 40 suffered from, infant and pre-school children and what Childhood suffer from are usually inborn glaucoma, juvenile period traumatism, inborn cataract,etc. that disease initiate to continue taking place glaucoma by eyes often, teenagers' period angle type glaucoma usually for opening. No matter which kind of glaucoma, usually rise in order to behave primarily with the intraocular pressure, thus damage some or all optic nerves and reduce the optic nerve and transport the quality of information to the brain, the patient's eyesight fails or loses one's sight gradually. Make horn glaucoma usually until eyesight fuzzy, use eyes tired near-sighted degree an early symptom in very fast increase, indeterminate because of symptom, often ignored.The square thunder tells reporters, he is the myopia from primary school, the degree of the glasses has already been up to six or seven hundred degrees when to the middle school. Until the eyesight of right eye fails by a wide margin, he still thought by mistake that became more serious near-sightedly, result in affecting the condition adversely finally. The ophthalmology centre blue and green only ophthalmology Deputy Director Professor Wang Tao of Beijing Tongren Hospital says, the similar case is not rare. In fact, glaucoma can bring about an near-sighted advance, myopia whom blue and green little young mere eyes take place high to endanger the factor.It is a good plan to defend managing early earlyHave statistic reveal, 50% of the patients of developed country, 90% of the patients of developing country do not know in early period that suffer from glaucoma by oneself, it is blind to fail to be made a diagnosis and given treatment in time and cause. Wang NingLi points out, only as to present medical level, most glaucoma patients can not cure completely. But if the scheme that patients can comply with the doctor carries on the treatment with rational science, glaucoma can be controlled effectively. So, find early, treat early it is the best method to control glaucoma.Tao Wang say, treat glaucoma include medicine, laser, the intersection of surgery and 3 way mainly. Among them, drug therapy is relatively safe, but it is limited to lower the range of intraocular pressure, and need to use medicine all the life. If the medicine can't control the intraocular pressure or depend on neuropathy changes and continues developing, need to choose surgery to treat. In addition, different kinds of glaucoma can adopt different laser surgery to treat, if laser little shaping skill Liang can treat, turn on horn glaucoma, laser peripheral iris excise skill and can be treated and closed corner type glaucoma.Wang NingLi says, dwindles for the visual field because of the typical symptom of glaucoma, some cases may get disease would still keep 1.0 even better eyesight in later period, so eyesight is not to weigh the healthy only key element of the eye definitely. He advise, teenagers time at school should go on the regular ophthalmology department, check, but not merely eyesight check; Should carry on optical fundus, intraocular pressure, eyesight inspection every year before 40 years old; Should be on the basis of checking in the regular ophthalmology department 40 years old later, glaucoma specialized department inspections such as the room depth, width of room corner,etc. before increasing.It is introduced, Beijing Tongren Hospital offers glaucoma and diagnoses the clinic in early period at present, try hard to recognise the glaucoma patient as soon as possible, treat, control the condition as soon as possible.With the enhancement of health consciousness, people pay more and more attention to with the life closely bound up health problem, such as the food security, medical treatment is ensured, medical information,etc., healthy life should be from understanding information begins!More excellent health information please enter:News channel
