How to effectively lower blood pressure in patients with glaucoma

If glaucoma causes high intraocular pressure, then you must pay attention to understanding the correct treatment and solutions, and avoid overusing your eyes. At the same time, if you find any abnormal problems with your eyes, you must pay attention to correct treatment to reduce harm.

1. The level of blood pressure directly affects the blood supply to the eyeball. Generally speaking, systolic pressure is equivalent to 6.5 to 7 times the intraocular pressure, and diastolic pressure is equivalent to 3.5 to 4 times the intraocular pressure. Most people with high intraocular pressure are women over 45 years old, and most of them are depressed or have congenital stenosis of the atria. Therefore, maintaining normal blood pressure can keep intraocular pressure stable and protect visual function.

2. Intraocular pressure, like other physiological indicators of the body, such as body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, etc., is floating. As long as it is still within the acceptable range of people's optic nerves, it is acceptable. For many normal people, intraocular pressure is highest in the morning and lowest in the evening or late at night. For some people, intraocular pressure peaks in the afternoon or evening.

3. Generally speaking, the intraocular pressure fluctuation range of a normal person is between 3 and 6 mmHg per day, while the intraocular pressure fluctuation range of glaucoma patients may be larger. In addition, body posture can also affect intraocular pressure. When a normal person changes from a sitting position to a lying position, the intraocular pressure may rise by 6 mmHg; if the person takes an inverted position, the intraocular pressure will rise by 10 mmHg.

4. People with high intraocular pressure should try to avoid inducing factors, keep their emotions stable, avoid being anxious, not losing their temper, and maintain an optimistic attitude; at the same time, they should ensure adequate sleep and eye hygiene, and not stay up late.

5. Jogging can lower intraocular pressure. Drink water in small sips and do not blow up balloons. Anyone with a family history of glaucoma should have their intraocular pressure carefully checked every year, and should regularly observe for symptoms such as eye pain, headache, halo vision, and decreased vision. If one eye has been diagnosed with glaucoma, then the other eye should be given sufficient attention.
