Today (May 17) is the 20th World Hypertension Day. We all know that high blood pressure can cause cardiovascular accidents. Not long ago, Wuhan citizen Granny Feng danced a square dance, and after splitting a fork, her eyes suddenly couldn't see clearly, and after the doctor's diagnosis, it was also related to high blood pressure.
Ms. Feng is a square dance enthusiast, and not long ago, during a rehearsal, after she did several splits and waist movements in a row, her eyes suddenly couldn't see clearly, and she almost fell to the ground, which made her panic and rushed to the hospital.
Dr. Han Mengyao, a fundus disease specialist at Aier Eye Hospital affiliated to Wuhan University, said that when the patient came, there was a dark shadow in front of his eye, accompanied by obvious vision loss. The visual acuity test is only 0.2.
During a follow-up examination, the doctor found that Ms. Feng had vitreous hemorrhage in the fundus of her eye. In addition, the doctor also learned that Granny Feng had a very severe history of hypertension, which was the main cause of her vitreous hemorrhage.
Dr. Han said that high blood pressure will cause the blood vessels in the eyes to be blocked, and then there will be new blood vessels in the eyes, which are very fragile and easy to rupture and bleed, so when he is exercising or angry, especially when he is very emotional, the new blood vessels are easy to break.
In order to save the patient's eyesight, the doctor urgently operated on Granny Feng, and after a period of treatment, Granny Feng's eyesight has now recovered to 0.6. Dr. Han introduced that the public is often very concerned that hypertension will bring damage to the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular vessels, and ignore the vision, hypertension for the vitreous hemorrhage secondary to eye lesions, can be encountered in their outpatient clinic basically every week, the position of the macula in the key part of the eye of the elderly has not been affected by the accumulation of blood, so the final vision is still quite good, very lucky.
For this reason, the doctor reminds the public that the eye function of the elderly will deteriorate, and the eyes themselves will become more fragile. For patients with high blood pressure, it is important to do what they can when exercising vigorously. Do not make movements that have too much impact on the head, face, and eyes, so as not to cause eye problems.
Dr. Han said that he regularly went to the hospital to monitor his whole body condition and adjust the drugs he used at any time.
