It turns out that emotional excitement triggers glaucoma

Nearly blind

Grandma Zhang, 65 years old this year, has a short temper. A week ago, she was riding in her son's car and was scratched by another car. Because of the other party's attitude, the hot-tempered Grandma Zhang got into an argument with the other person. Unexpectedly, the next day, Grandma Zhang felt pain in her right eye, blurred vision, and nausea. A few days later, she could hardly see with her right eye.

"When people with hot tempers lose control of their emotions, it is easy to affect the autonomic nervous system, causing the anterior chamber angle of the eye to close and the aqueous humor to be suppressed, causing the intraocular pressure to rise sharply." Wu Zuohong, director of the glaucoma department and member of the glaucoma group of the Hubei Ophthalmology Society, said that people with hot tempers have a relatively high rate of acute glaucoma. Fatigue and tiredness are also important causes of acute glaucoma, and cold and hot weather are also factors that induce glaucoma.

Director Wu Zuohong reminded that acute glaucoma attacks are easy to detect. Rainbow phenomenon appears when looking at light bulbs in the evening, or things are blurred, the eyeballs feel swollen, or the root of the nose and the eyebrow arch feel sore, which may be signs of acute angle-closure glaucoma. If you experience eye pain, headache, nausea, vomiting, sudden vision loss, etc., you should pay more attention and seek medical attention in time.
