Colds and coughs are a common thing in life, but if the cough is too intense, it is likely to bring some accidents. Recently, citizen Xiao Li suffered from retinal detachment due to coughing.
Citizen Xiao Li, nearsighted 400 degrees, in recent days, she has caught a cold. After a violent cough, Xiao Li found that his eyes suddenly turned black.
Li Ming, attending physician of the Department of Ophthalmology of Taizhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said: "After a detailed examination in the outpatient clinic, we judged that the diagnosis was a retinal detachment of the left eye. ”
According to doctors, high myopia is one of the most common causes of retinal detachment. The data show that people with high myopia above 600 degrees have a 7 to 8 times higher chance of retinal detachment than the average person.
Li Ming, attending physician of the Department of Ophthalmology of Taizhou City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said: "First of all, people with myopia, his eyeballs are larger than the eyeballs of normal people, and the retina will be pulled by this, so it often appears in the surrounding part of some denaturation areas and some dry cracks, under the intense movement, it may cause concussions, then at this time it will cause this stretch of the retina, and then cause the detachment of the retina." ”
Doctors remind that after the retina is detached, the retinal photoreceptor cells can not get sufficient nutrition, if not reduced in time, the retina will atrophy, degeneration, resulting in irreversible damage to visual function, therefore, early diagnosis, early treatment.
Li Ming, attending physician of the Department of Ophthalmology of Taizhou City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, suggested: "If we myopic patients are in normal times, try not to do confrontational or strenuous exercise, if there is a black shadow floating in front of your eyes, at this time, I recommend that you come to the hospital to do a wide-angle examination of the retina." ”
