Night owls must see! Never turn off the lights and play with your phone

He swore a second ago

"I'm going to go to bed early today" and turn off the lights one second

Continue to lie in bed and play with your phone

I can't stop watching videos

The more I look at it, the more excited I get

This is not your daily life

Not only that,

Everyone knows that the older generation is frugal

You can go home and see your parents' frugality

——"Afraid of wasting electricity, I turned off the lights and played with my mobile phone"

It's still hard to understand

Elders who stay up late to turn off the lights and play with their mobile phones

Almost blind?

1. Swipe your mobile phone at night to hide the crisis, and ignore the treatment risk of blindness

01

Aunt Liu (62 years old, pseudonym), takes care of her grandson after retirement. In order to avoid waking up the baby at night, she often turned off the lights and watched videos on the bed and watched dramas until late at night. Recently, Ms. Liu's vision plummeted, and Ms. Liu hurried to Dongguan Aier Eye Hospital and was diagnosed with acute angle-closure glaucoma attacks in both eyes.

51-year-old Aunt Zhang (pseudonym) is addicted to mobile phones, constantly watching short videos from morning to night, and continuing to play after turning off the lights at night. It wasn't until her eyes plummeted and she couldn't see clearly, and even her son could only see half of his face standing in front of her, and she was nauseous and vomiting for 4 consecutive days, so her family sent her to the hospital and diagnosed her with an acute glaucoma attack.

Note: Light areas are visible fields of view, and dark areas are invisible fields of view.

Director Huashan of the Department of Glaucoma Ophthalmology reminded that although the left eye has not yet developed, due to the high-risk factor of glaucoma such as narrow angle stenosis, the left eye may develop glaucoma at any time when encountering certain stimuli factors. Therefore, it is recommended to have regular follow-up check-ups and receive corresponding glaucoma treatment.

Long-term anxiety and the habit of staying up late to turn off the lights and play with mobile phones dilate the pupils in the dark, coupled with the vigilant expansion of cataracts squeezing into the corners of the room, resulting in direct "traffic jams" in the already narrow corners, which greatly accelerates the occurrence of angle-closure glaucoma.

2. The risk of blindness is high, and it is almost advanced at the time of medical treatment

Glaucoma is the world's first irreversible blinding eye disease and is known as the "thief of vision". At the same time, the incidence gradually increases with age.

Its pathological process often begins with subtle changes in the structure of the angular angles, provoking increased intraocular pressure and damage to the optic nerve, leading to visual loss and visual field defects.

Early glaucoma may have no obvious symptoms and is easily overlooked by patients. In the advanced stage of glaucoma, there will be tubular vision and even vision loss, that is, the range of vision in both eyes is greatly reduced, and 50% of glaucoma patients are already in the advanced stage at the time of treatment, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients.

Symptoms of glaucoma

It should be noted that when obvious symptoms appear, it often has progressed to an advanced stage, with a tubular visual field or even vision loss.

People at high risk for glaucoma

For high-risk groups, regular eye examinations should be performed:

Check eye pressure! Rounds corner! Check the field of vision!

At the same time, it is necessary to develop good eye habits, avoid using electronic products for a long time in a dark environment, refuse internal friction, and live a healthy life. Once abnormal conditions such as increased intraocular pressure, visual field defects, nausea, vomiting, and eye swelling and pain are found, you should seek medical attention in time and take effective treatment measures.

Frugality for the older generation

We should also give more understanding

But these frugal habits are harmful to health

It should also be corrected in time

We need to give them more care

Care about their eye health
