If your eyes turn red and painful after masturbation, you may be suffering from this blinding eye disease!

You after becoming a sheep

Are you experiencing

Cut throat with knife, seal nose with cement

Open the skull without anesthesia and drill the eyeballs

If "Yang Kang"

The eyes haven't recovered yet.

Need to be vigilant

There might be something wrong with your eyes.

70-year-old Li Daddy (pseudonym) lives in Jiang'an District, Wuhan. Not long ago, he started to have a fever after returning home from an outing. At night, he not only had a high fever, but also had symptoms of "craniotomy without anesthesia" and "electric drilling of the eyeballs". That is, he had a severe headache, red eyes and severe swelling and pain. He thought that he would be fine after the fever subsided, but after the fever subsided, his eyes not only did not get better, but his vision became blurry, and he fell when he got out of bed. His family quickly took him to the Aier Eye Hospital affiliated to Wuhan University for treatment.

"How can I have eye problems after being infected with COVID-19?" Uncle Li was puzzled. After examination, his intraocular pressure was as high as 54.1 mmHg, which was far beyond the normal range and was a typical acute attack of bilateral acute angle-closure glaucoma.

Lv Jin, chief physician of the glaucoma department of the Aier Eye Hospital affiliated to Wuhan University , explained that after being infected with the new coronavirus, some patients will experience symptoms such as eye congestion, pain, and decreased vision; some patients will also feel nausea and vomiting, which may be glaucoma attacks and must be treated as soon as possible.

What is acute angle-closure glaucoma?

Acute angle-closure glaucoma refers to the sudden and large-scale closure of the chamber angle, which leads to the disruption of the aqueous humor circulation function inside the eye, the accumulation of a large amount of fluid in the eye, and a sharp increase in intraocular pressure.

Normal intraocular pressure is between 10 and 21 mmHg, but can reach 50 mmHg or even higher during an acute attack, causing swelling and pain in the eyeball, severe headaches, and a sudden decrease in vision. If treatment is delayed, permanent blindness may occur.

How to avoid glaucoma during the COVID-19 period?

1. Do not drink a lot of water at one time

During the COVID period, we are always told to drink more hot water, but for people who are at risk of glaucoma, drinking large amounts of water or other beverages quickly will lead to a decrease in osmotic pressure due to blood dilution, and an increase in aqueous humor entering the eye, which will cause a rapid increase in intraocular pressure and induce glaucoma.

2. Do not use electronic products in dark environments

Because the pupil will dilate in a dark environment, it is easy to squeeze the anterior chamber angle, causing obstruction of aqueous humor outflow. For people with narrow or even closed anterior chambers, it is more likely to cause aqueous humor accumulation and increased intraocular pressure, thus inducing glaucoma. When at home, you should avoid playing with your phone, watching TV, or using your eyes for a long time in a dark environment. When using your eyes, keep them in sufficient light to avoid glaucoma caused by dilated pupils in a dark environment.

3. Keep a happy mood and avoid anxiety

Emotional fluctuations are one of the main factors that cause glaucoma. Frequent anger or anxiety can have a huge impact on intraocular pressure, which can easily cause a sharp increase or fluctuation in intraocular pressure and endanger eye health. During the epidemic, there is a lot of pressure, so we should maintain a good attitude and face life positively.

Wu Zuohong, deputy chief physician, member of the Glaucoma Group of the Hubei Ophthalmological Society, and director of the Glaucoma Department of the Aier Eye Hospital affiliated to Wuhan University, emphasized that acute angle-closure glaucoma is an extremely serious blinding eye disease, and treatment is almost a race against time. If intraocular pressure cannot be controlled or reduced in a short period of time, it will cause irreversible permanent damage to vision or even blindness. If you experience symptoms such as decreased vision, eye pain, dizziness and discomfort after being infected with the new coronavirus, you can go to the Glaucoma Clinic of the Glaucoma Department of the Aier Eye Hospital affiliated to Wuhan University for examination.

On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the establishment of Aier Eye Hospital, Aier Eye Hospital Affiliated to Wuhan University (Wuhan Aier Eye Hospital) now has 30 ophthalmology clinics, including dry eye clinic, high myopia clinic, floaters clinic, maculopathy clinic, diabetic eye disease clinic, pediatric tear duct clinic, ptosis and repair clinic, myopia prevention and control clinic, and refractory glaucoma clinic, implementing precision medicine and specialized treatment for specialized diseases. The hospital also has a special clinic for famous doctors, and invites nationally renowned ophthalmologists to sit regularly to provide diagnosis and treatment solutions for patients with difficult eye diseases. Weekend expert clinics and night clinics are also "open all the time" to fully guarantee the medical needs of the majority of patients.
