Ischemic optic neuropathy, this kind of care is effective

Ischemic optic neuropathy often occurs in the elderly or diabetic patients. Its common causes are closely related to these, such as hemorrhagic shock caused by acute massive bleeding, vascular diseases, severe anemia, increased intraocular pressure due to glaucoma, systemic vascular diseases, and blood diseases.

1. Causes

1. Hemorrhagic shock caused by acute massive bleeding: The blood pressure is too low, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the small blood vessels on the optic disc, blood circulation disorders, and thus infarction and local tissue hypoxia.

2. Vascular diseases such as hypertension, arteriosclerosis, diabetes, temporal arteritis, etc.: they cause changes in the blood vessel walls, stenosis or occlusion of the blood vessels, and the small blood vessels of the optic disc also change, causing local ischemia.

3. Severe anemia: reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood; increases blood viscosity. For example, polycythemia, leukemia, etc. slow down blood circulation, causing optic disc hypoxia.

4. Glaucoma causes increased intraocular pressure, which compresses the small blood vessels in the optic disc, causing poor blood flow and insufficient blood supply.

5. Vasculitis: giant cell arteritis, polyarteritis nodosa, systemic lupus erythematosus, Buergers' disease, allergic vasculitis, post-viral vasculitis, post-immunization, syphilis, radiation necrosis.

6. Systemic vascular diseases: hypertension, atherosclerosis, diabetes, migraine, large arteritis, carotid artery obstructive lesions.

7. Hematological diseases: polycythemia vera, sickle cell disease, acute hypotension (shock), G-6-PD deficiency.

In addition, some local inflammations of the eye socket and eyeball may also cause this disease.

II. Nursing of ischemic optic neuropathy

1. Pay attention to the regularity of daily life, arrange daily work and life scientifically and reasonably, exercise regularly, and strengthen your physical fitness to relieve work pressure.

2. Pay attention to the diet of ischemic optic neuropathy, supplement nutrition, and eat more foods that promote blood circulation such as sesame, spinach, peanuts, tofu, fresh fish, etc.

3. Do more aerobic exercises such as jogging, brisk walking, mountain climbing, skipping rope, Tai Chi, etc., which will activate all parts of the body and promote blood circulation.

4. Maintain an optimistic attitude. Pay attention to personal hygiene and environmental hygiene. Be sure to get enough sleep, don't smoke or drink, drink plenty of water, eat more light food, and eat more fruits and vegetables.
