Young people love to play with mobile phones
Mom used to say, "Look at your eyes again and you'll be blind."
Didn't expect to be in recent days
Xiamen's Xiaohuang really experienced a "limited time blindness"
One day Xiao Huang was playing with her mobile phone
Suddenly, it went black
The left eye is gone
He was so frightened that he rushed to the hospital
The doctor said he had it
Central retinal artery is blocked
Commonly known as "wind in the eye"
Continuous overtime and smoking and drinking
The young man suddenly had a stroke in his eye
The doctor inquired and learned that Xiaohuang had recently worked overtime until late at night, usually loved to smoke, and often ate supper and drank alcohol after working overtime. I didn't expect to play with my mobile phone for a while when I got home, and my eyes went wrong.
What is retinal artery occlusion?
Doctors say that retinal artery occlusion is characterized by a sharp decline in vision or even loss of vision, extremely fine fundus arteries, and gray-white edema of the retina.
Depending on the degree and location of the obstruction, there are many different situations.
Among them, the central retinal artery obstruction suffered by xiao huang is an emergency that seriously endangers vision, and the prognosis is very poor. Whether some visual functions can be saved depends on whether the diagnosis and rescue are timely, and also depends on the degree of obstruction, location, etc. If you can treat the doctor immediately within a few hours after the onset of the disease, the prognosis is better.
"Eye stroke" is more common in middle-aged and elderly people
Most are accompanied by hypertension, diabetes, and arteriosclerosis
and other underlying diseases
Symptoms are sudden, painless vision loss
Even descends to no light but without any discomfort
An ophthalmologist in Xiamen once treated a 65-year-old patient when the patient was reading the newspaper at home and suddenly felt that his left eye could not read clearly. Because he had had cataract surgery, he was worried about other diseases and immediately went to the hospital. Because of the timely medical treatment, the patient's vision prognosis was good.
In fact, it is not only middle-aged and elderly
If the long-term life is irregular, excessive tobacco and alcohol,
Too much mental stress
Young people also have "eye stroke"
Sudden loss or loss of vision
It is best to see a doctor within 90 minutes
Doctors say that if a temporary eye blackening occurs, which lasts for two or three minutes, it may be caused by vasospasm, and it has not yet reached the point of embolism. But it should not be careless, and it may also be a prelude to the blockage of the central artery.
"Frequently staying up late to play mobile phones, excessive use of electronic products, etc., may be the cause, easy to cause blockage of fundus arteries, so that the retina ischemic necrosis, resulting in vision loss and even blindness." The doctor said.
What should I do if I suspect a blocked retinal artery?
If there is a sudden loss or loss of vision
Remember the "Golden 90 Minutes"
See a professional ophthalmologist today
If the central artery is completely blocked
The "golden hour" is shorter
On the way to the hospital, you can take drugs that dilate blood vessels under the tongue, such as nitroglycerin, and massage the eyeballs moderately: that is, gently press with your hands, let go, press again, and let go.
"Don't wait!"
Play mobile phones, chase dramas don't stare too long
People at high risk regularly check the fundus
The doctor said
Winter temperatures fluctuate greatly
Usually pay attention to keep warm
Keeping you warm all over the body helps reduce the probability of a "stroke.")
Patients with underlying diseases such as hyperglycemia, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and arteriosclerosis are at high risk of "eye stroke", and should pay attention to controlling blood sugar, blood pressure and blood lipids, etc. In life, we should pay attention to avoid overwork, overwork or emotional agitation, so as to avoid spasm of the central retinal artery and cause vasoconstriction.
Young people like to play mobile phones or chase dramas, pay attention to control time, and never stare at the mobile phone screen in a dark environment.
When friends gather, avoid drinking too much alcohol, emotional agitation caused by increased blood pressure, resulting in retinal artery obstruction.
For "eye stroke" high-risk groups
Doctors recommend regular fundus check-ups
Through the examination and analysis of fundus, not only can the early signs of "eye stroke" be checked in time, but also chronic diseases such as vascular diseases, diabetes, and hypertension can be detected in a timely manner.
