Try to avoid a high-fat and high-sugar diet. It is advisable to eat less irritating foods such as peppers, and eat less foods that are easy to cause El thirst, such as overeating and frying. Eat more foods rich in antioxidant nutrients such as vitamin C, and increase crude fiber foods, such as fresh vegetables and fruits, and appropriate amount of fish, meat and pork liver. Lycium barbarum, walnuts, peanuts, black sesame and other foods that can tonify liver and kidney are also very beneficial. Wax gourd, watermelon and white have diuretic effects.
Rhizome, cucumber, loofah, mung bean, adzuki bean, etc. It should be eaten properly, which can reduce the absorption and formation of aqueous humor and help reduce intraocular pressure.
2. avoid drinking too much water
The method with fewer times is the best. Drinking water or drinks at a time should not exceed 500 ml, preferably less than 200 ml, so as not to cause blood dilution. The decrease of plasma osmotic pressure and the relative increase of aqueous humor lead to the increase of intraocular pressure, which affects drug treatment.
3. Avoid cigarettes, alcohol and strong tea.
Because nicotine in tobacco can cause retinal vasospasm, optic nerve ischemia and damage visual function: excessive drinking can lead to telangiectasia of eyeball. It will aggravate eye congestion and sometimes induce acute glaucoma; Strong tea and coffee can cause excessive excitement, affect sleep and increase intraocular pressure.
Step 4 avoid getting emotional
Keep a peaceful and optimistic attitude and mood, and avoid emotional excitement and anger.
Step 5 avoid eye fatigue
Don't work in a dark room or dark light for too long; Avoid reading and watching TV for a long time (it is best to turn on a small light when watching TV to prevent the environment from being too dark); Don't bow your head for a long time, and don't wear sunglasses, so as not to cause pupil dilation. Elevate intraocular pressure and cause glaucoma attacks.
6. Reasonable aerobic exercise
Glaucoma patients should take part in proper aerobic exercise, which is beneficial to the redistribution of human blood and reduce the ciliary body blood secreting aqueous humor. Exercise can also make the body sweat, which is conducive to reducing the production of aqueous humor and lowering intraocular pressure. According to the calculation, aerobic exercise can reduce the intraocular pressure by 3 ~ 5 mm Hg and maintain it for 1 ~ 2 hours.
Patients with glaucoma can also do some exercises after surgery, such as walking, but not strenuous exercise, so as not to cause postoperative complications such as hyphema and choroidal detachment. It is necessary to strengthen the protection of eyes after operation, and it is best to wear a pair of protective resin glasses at ordinary times.
7. Take a good hot bath
Hot water bath is a kind of hyperthermia. When the central nervous system is stimulated by high temperature, it can mobilize the self-protection mechanism of human body and induce the production of protective proteins such as heat shock protein. These protein can activate the immune system and protect damaged nerve cells. But it should be noted that. The water temperature in the hot bath should not be too high, so as to feel comfortable.
8. TCM treatment based on syndrome differentiation
Glaucoma has special effects. Microcirculatory disturbance around optic nerve caused by high intraocular pressure is one of the causes of optic nerve damage in glaucoma. Saviae Miltiorrhizae Radix, Radix Astragali, Radix Puerariae, Prunellae Spica, etc. It has the functions of reducing blood viscosity, improving local blood circulation, increasing blood supply to optic nerve, reducing intraocular pressure and protecting patients.
9. Regular inspection
In order to find glaucoma early, we should check it every 2 ~ 3 years after 40 years old and every 1 year after 60 years old. In addition, you should also learn to test yourself: look down with your eyes, gently press the eyeball with your middle fingers, and feel the hardness of the eyeball. If the hardness of one eyeball is greater than that of the other, we should pay attention to it and go to the hospital as soon as possible. Generally speaking, the better the elasticity of the eyeball. The smaller the intraocular pressure. Patients who have been diagnosed with glaucoma or suspected patients should be actively treated. Most glaucoma is a lifelong eye disease, and drug treatment needs to be adjusted at any time. Even surgical treatment is not once and for all, so you should go to the hospital for regular review. 1 ~ 2 months to measure intraocular pressure, and 6 months to review visual field and fundus.
Glaucoma is a genetic eye disease. Therefore, glaucoma patients should pay close attention to their own condition changes, but also care about their immediate family members, so as to go to the hospital regularly for relevant examinations and achieve the purpose of early detection and early treatment.
It should be reminded that glaucoma patients can't make up after surgery. During the operation, the doctor will make a filtering channel inside and outside the patient's eyes. This passage is related to the wound of successful operation. Within 3 months after operation, the doctor will try his best to make the wound not heal. If patients often eat high-protein food, or even eat some medicinal foods that will promote healing, it may lead to scarring of the filter passage and failure of the operation. Therefore, under the premise of ensuring the basic nutrition of patients, patients should eat a light low-protein diet after operation, avoid tonic, and do not take various ginseng (ginseng, American ginseng, etc. ) and angelica and other drugs for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
