What is high intraocular pressure
High intraocular pressure, also known as glaucoma, is a common ophthalmic disease. It means that the output of aqueous humor in the eye is less than the generated amount, which leads to the increase of osmotic pressure of aqueous humor in the eye and the increase of pressure in the eye. If not treated in time, high intraocular pressure may cause optic nerve damage, or even visual loss of * *.
Shanghai Eye Hospital is a large comprehensive hospital focusing on the treatment of ophthalmic diseases. Over the years, it has accumulated rich experience in the research and treatment of high intraocular pressure, and is the preferred hospital for the treatment of high intraocular pressure.
Treatment of high intraocular pressure
For the treatment of patients with high intraocular pressure, Shanghai Eye Hospital has adopted a comprehensive treatment strategy, including drug treatment, surgical treatment and other auxiliary treatment measures.
medication
Drug therapy is the first choice for treatment of high intraocular pressure. The use of intraocular pressure lowering drugs can reduce the production of aqueous humor in the eye or increase the discharge of aqueous humor, thereby effectively reducing intraocular pressure. Shanghai Ophthalmology Hospital formulates personalized drug treatment plans according to the specific conditions of patients, including eye drops, oral drugs or injection drugs. In the course of drug treatment, the professional doctors in the hospital will closely monitor the changes of patients' intraocular pressure and timely adjust the medication plan.
surgical treatment
For some patients who are ineffective or intolerable to drug treatment, Shanghai Eye Hospital can adopt surgical treatment. Common surgical treatments include laser surgery and surgical decompression. Laser surgery can increase the drainage of aqueous humor through the role of laser, thus reducing intraocular pressure. Surgical decompression can reduce the production of aqueous humor by opening new aqueous humor drainage channels to achieve the effect of pressure reduction. The professional ophthalmologist of the hospital will select appropriate surgical treatment methods according to the patient's condition and risk assessment.
Other adjuvant treatment
In addition to medical treatment and surgical treatment, Shanghai Eye Hospital also recommends patients to take other auxiliary treatments, including traditional Chinese medicine conditioning, acupuncture, moxibustion and maintaining good living habits. These adjunctive treatments can alleviate the patients' eye discomfort and sense of pressure, and promote the recovery of the body.
Precautions
The pathogenesis of high intraocular pressure has not yet been fully understood, but some preventive measures and precautions can help people reduce the risk of disease.
Regular physical examination
High intraocular pressure is a chronic disease, which generally has no typical symptoms and is not easily perceived by patients. Therefore, it is very important to carry out regular ophthalmic physical examination. In Shanghai Eye Hospital, doctors will find out the symptoms of high intraocular pressure in time by means of intraocular pressure measurement and take corresponding treatment measures.
Keep good living habits
It is very important to keep adequate sleep, reasonable diet and reduce bad living habits such as staying up late to prevent high intraocular pressure. In addition, regular eye exercises and avoiding long-term eye use can also play a preventive role.
Medication according to doctor's advice
If the patient has been diagnosed with high intraocular pressure, he/she should take the medicine in strict accordance with the doctor's instructions, and return to see the doctor regularly to check the intraocular pressure. Do not change the drug dosage or stop the drug at will to avoid aggravating the disease.
Summary
High intraocular pressure is a common ophthalmic disease. If it is not treated in time, it may lead to vision loss. Therefore, it is very important to choose a professional ophthalmic hospital for treatment. Shanghai Eye Hospital, relying on years of clinical experience and professional medical team, provides patients with * effective treatment plans to enable them to recover in time. In addition, patients should also pay attention to prevention and precautions to reduce the risk of illness.
