So, what eye diseases will staying up late cause?

glaucoma

Staring at the screen for a long time in a dark environment will cause the eyes to be less sensitive in the dark and overload the adjustment in the dark environment, which will first cause severe visual fatigue. In addition, long-term use of the eyes in a dark environment may cause the pupil to dilate for a long time, blocking the circulation of intraocular fluid (aqueous humor), leading to increased intraocular pressure and inducing glaucoma and blindness.

Glaucoma is the number one irreversible cause of blindness.
Damage to the optic nerve caused by increased intraocular pressure is irreversible. The main symptom of glaucoma is increased intraocular pressure. When there is a problem with the aqueous humor circulation, the increased intraocular pressure compresses the optic nerve and causes damage to the optic nerve. Aqueous humor is an important substance for maintaining intraocular pressure. In the aqueous humor circulation, any problem may lead to increased intraocular pressure and then induce glaucoma. Wu Zuohong, deputy chief physician, member of the Glaucoma Group of the Hubei Ophthalmology Society, and director of the Glaucoma Department of the Aier Eye Hospital affiliated to Wuhan University, said: Pay attention to the following four situations and discover and treat them in time.

01

Sudden loss of vision

The vision of glaucoma patients will be impaired, but it is not noticeable at first and most people will think it is myopia. However, the vision loss of glaucoma is continuous and may even be accompanied by eye pain.

02

Nausea and vomiting

When acute glaucoma occurs, the intraocular pressure rises significantly, which compresses the surrounding nerves and causes nausea and vomiting. The symptoms of nausea and vomiting will improve only after the intraocular pressure drops.

03

Headache

When the intraocular pressure increases, it will compress other nerves, such as the trigeminal nerve, causing headaches. This headache will extend to other parts of the forehead, jaw, etc. If you feel pain when drinking water, you must pay attention.

04

Eye swelling

Glaucoma patients often experience soreness and swelling in the eyes, especially after excessive use of the eyes, the soreness and swelling is more obvious, and it will generally be relieved after rest. Continuous increase in intraocular pressure will not only cause soreness and swelling in the eyes, but also swelling and pain in the eye sockets and the root of the nose. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.

Not just the eyes

For your health

Don't endure it if you can.
