What is good to eat for glaucoma? What are the symptoms of glaucoma?

Glaucoma is one of the three major eye diseases in my country. If not treated in time, it will lead to blindness, so early detection and early treatment are necessary. It is recommended that everyone should have a reasonable diet, which can help everyone relieve eye fatigue and is also effective in preventing and treating glaucoma. Patients with glaucoma should pay attention to their reading posture. Do not read while lying down, and do not read in poor light or strong light, as this will only worsen your condition.

Glaucoma symptom 1: eye swelling and pain.

Staying in strong light or dark places (movies, television, computers, dark rooms, etc.) for too long can cause eye swelling, headaches, and blurred vision. If not treated promptly, repeated occurrences can easily lead to severe acute glaucoma.

In addition, if you experience a headache after drinking a lot of water at one time, you should also be alert to glaucoma. Most glaucoma patients will experience symptoms of eye swelling and headache within half an hour after drinking water.

Glaucoma Symptom 2: Significant decrease in vision

Many glaucoma patients say that their vision suddenly deteriorates significantly in the early stages of the disease. If presbyopia occurs before the age of 40 and the degree of presbyopia changes rapidly, it may be a symptom of early glaucoma.

Glaucoma symptom 3: Difficulty reading in the morning

Difficulty reading in the morning: Glaucoma patients will experience large fluctuations in intraocular pressure within 24 hours, especially in the morning when intraocular pressure will increase, so patients will have difficulty reading books or newspapers after getting up.

Glaucoma symptom 4: Iridescence

Medically, halo vision refers to the appearance of colorful halos when looking at lights at night. This is caused by corneal edema due to increased intraocular pressure, which is a special symptom of glaucoma.

What to eat for glaucoma?

Most of the symptoms of glaucoma are caused by increased intraocular pressure, so it is important for glaucoma patients to relieve intraocular pressure. If the blood sugar level of glaucoma patients is normal, they can eat more foods such as loofah, watermelon, honey, etc., which can promote diuresis, accelerate the absorption of aqueous humor in the eye, and relieve intraocular pressure. In addition, eating more foods rich in fiber and vitamins can also lower intraocular pressure and prevent and treat glaucoma.

The above is an introduction to the symptoms and dietary adjustments of glaucoma. I hope it will be helpful to everyone and help them stay away from the troubles of eye diseases such as glaucoma.
