Glaucoma treatment folk remedies
Glaucoma is a serious eye disease in which vision loss and increased intraocular pressure are observed. Glaucoma can develop independently or against a background of another disease.
Inside the person's eye there is always a small amount of special fluid. It is produced in one part of the eye and absorbed into the other. This fluid is necessary because it moisturizes the eye from the inside and ensures the delivery of nutrients inside the eye. Glaucoma is an increased pressure inside the eye due to an excessive amount of intraocular fluid. The cause of an increased amount of fluid can be both increased its formation, and a violation of reverse absorption. In such a situation, the liquid squeezes from inside all the tissues of the eye and damages them. This leads to a progressive decline in vision and can eventually become a cause of complete blindness.
In most cases, glaucoma appears imperceptibly and slowly progresses, but can begin acutely, with an attack.
At the time of the attack, vision is sharply reduced, there is pain in the eye and a headache. Sometimes an attack can be accompanied by nausea and vomiting. It is very difficult to recognize glaucoma independently, as all of the above symptoms can occur in a variety of diseases. Therefore, most often the diagnosis is made by an ophthalmologist based on the measurement of intraocular pressure. You can not make a diagnosis yourself.
There are many ways to reduce intraocular pressure at home.
Symptoms: The initial stages of glaucoma are characterized by a periodic "blurring" of vision. Then the visual acuity gradually decreases and the field of vision narrows. More about the symptoms, see here.
What's going on? Acute attack of glaucoma, which can develop at any stage of the disease, is characterized by severe pain in the eye, spreading to the head, ears and teeth. Quite often a feeling of nausea and bouts of vomiting. Intraocular pressure during an attack reaches very high figures. The phenomena of an acute attack of glaucoma disappear within a few days, but after each attack there is a further decrease in vision. Usually the illness lasts for years and can result in the onset of complete blindness as a result of optic nerve atrophy.
What should do? At the first suspicion of glaucoma it is necessary to consult a doctor-oculist for examination and appointment of adequate treatment. It is important to take enough hours for sleep and sleep on a high pillow. Do not overwork your eyes.
