He loea no kou mau maka: ʻO wai kēia kauka maka?

ʻO kou mau maka ka waiwai nui loa e kōkua iā ʻoe e ʻike i ke ao nei. No laila, he mea nui loa ka mālama ʻana i ke olakino o kēia mau maka a me ka maopopo o ka ʻike. Pēlā nō, ʻo ka loea maka, a i ʻole ma ka ʻōlelo Pelekania, (Optometrist) , ka mea a mākou e kamaʻilio nei i kēia lā, he loea ia e nānā, hoʻokolokolo, a mālama i ke olakino o kou mau maka inā kū mai kekahi mau pilikia. E nānā pono kākou i ka mea nāna kēia (Optometrist), kāna hana, a me nā lawelawe āu e loaʻa ai mai iā ia.

ʻAe, he kauka maka nō hoʻi ke kauka maka. Akā, he ʻokoʻa iki lākou mai kou kauka ʻohana (Primary Care Physician - PCP), ka mea āu e hele pinepine ai no ka mālama ʻana.

ʻO ka maʻamau, loaʻa i kāu kauka ʻohana (PCP) ke kēkelē lapaʻau (MD) a i ʻole ke kauka osteopathy (DO) . Eia nō naʻe, loaʻa i kahi kauka maka ke kauka kauka ma ka optometry (OD) . E hoʻopau lākou i kēia kēkelē ʻaʻole ma o ke kula lapaʻau maʻamau, akā ma o ke kula optometry kūikawā.

ʻEhā mau makahiki ka lōʻihi e hoʻopau ai i ke kēkelē OD. Ua hoʻopau pū kekahi mau kauka maka i ke kēkelē laepua ʻehā makahiki ma mua o kēlā. ʻO ia hoʻi, ma kahi o ʻewalu mau makahiki o ka hoʻonaʻauao kulanui. Hoʻopau kekahi mau kauka maka i hoʻokahi makahiki o ke aʻo ʻana ma hope o ke kula optometry. Hāʻawi kēlā iā lākou i ka ʻike loea hou aʻe.

He aha ka hana a ke Kauka Maka?

Hiki i ke kauka maka ke ʻike a mālama i nā ʻano maʻi maka like ʻole a me nā pilikia ʻike maka. Hana lākou i kēia mau mea:

• Hoʻokolohua Maka: Hana ʻia kahi hoʻokolohua maka maʻamau e nānā i nā pilikia me kou mau maka a me kou ʻike.
• ʻIkepili: Ma hope o kēia mau hoʻokolohua, e ʻike lākou i ke kūlana olakino kūikawā a i ʻole ka hemahema o ka ʻike āu.
• Ka lāʻau lapaʻau:I ka hapanui o nā hihia, hiki iā lākou ke kuhikuhi i ka lāʻau lapaʻau āu e pono ai. Eia kekahi laʻana:

E hoʻomanaʻo, ʻoiai hiki i kahi kauka maka ke mālama i nā pilikia maka maʻamau a me nā kūlana, ʻaʻole hana ka hapa nui o ka poʻe i ke ʻoki kino. Inā pono ʻoe e ʻoki kino ma kou mau maka, pono ʻoe e ʻike i kahi kauka maka . Hiki i kahi kauka maka ke kuhikuhi iā ʻoe i kahi kauka maka kūpono.

He aha nā pilikia maka e hiki i ke kauka maka ke ʻike?

Hiki i nā kauka maka ke ʻike i nā pilikia ʻike maʻamau a me nā maʻi maka.

Nā pilikia ʻike maka maʻamau:

• ʻIke kokoke (Myopia): ʻIke maopopo ʻia nā mea kokoke, akā ʻike ʻia nā mea mamao he pōwehiwehi. E noʻonoʻo, no ka laʻana, he pōwehiwehi nā leka ma ka papa ʻeleʻele ma ka papa.

• Amblyopia (maka palaualelo): ʻOi aku ka nāwaliwali o ka ʻike ʻana ma kekahi maka ma mua o kekahi. Hiki ke mālama ʻia kēia inā ʻike mua ʻia.
• Makapo kala: ʻAʻole hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale pono i kekahi mau kala.

Nā maʻi maka maʻamau:

ʻEhia pinepine e pono ai iaʻu e nānā i koʻu mau maka?

Ma ka nānā pinepine ʻana i kou mau maka a me kou ʻike maka, hiki i ke kauka maka ke ʻike i nā pilikia i ka wā mua. Ma ke ʻano laulā, ʻokoʻa ka nui o nā manawa e pono ai ʻoe e nānā i kou mau maka me kou mau makahiki:

• Nā Keiki: He mea nui e nānā ʻia nā maka o kāu keiki e ke kauka keiki ma mua o ko lākou hoʻomaka ʻana i ke kula. I kekahi manawa, ma mua o kēlā, inā manaʻo ke kauka he pilikia maka a maka paha kāu keiki, hiki ke hoʻāʻo ʻia. Ma hope o kēlā, ua ʻōlelo pinepine ʻia e hana ʻoe i kahi hoʻokolokolo maka i kēlā me kēia makahiki .
• Nā pākeke (18-65 mau makahiki): I kēlā me kēia makahiki a i ʻole i kēlā me kēia ʻelua makahiki.

Mea nui: Inā ʻoe e ʻaʻahu nei i nā aniani maka a i ʻole nā ​​​​​​aniani hoʻopili, a i ʻole e loaʻa ana ka lāʻau maka a i ʻole ka ʻike maka, pono paha ʻoe e nānā pinepine ʻia kou mau maka. E nīnau i kāu kauka maka a i ʻole ka mea mālama ola kino no ka ʻike hou aku.

Pehea e hiki ai iaʻu ke mālama i koʻu mau maka?

He mea nui loa e haʻi aku i kāu kauka maka a i ʻole kekahi loea maka ʻē aʻe inā ʻike ʻoe i kekahi mau loli i kou ʻike. Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kekahi o kēia mau hōʻailona hou, e ʻimi pono i ke aʻo lapaʻau:

• ʻIke pōwehiwehi.
• Nā maka ʻulaʻula.
• ʻEha maka.
• ʻIke pālua.
• ʻIke i ka mālamalama (ʻIke i ka mālamalama - Photophobia).
• ʻIke ʻana i nā mea lana hou a i ʻole nā ​​​​​​ʻālohilohi i mua o nā maka.
• Inā ʻike ʻoe i kekahi mau loli i kou ʻike - ʻoiai inā e lilo koke ia i mea ʻino - mai hoʻāʻo e hoʻopilikia i ke olakino o kou maka, ʻoiai inā he mea liʻiliʻi kēia.

He aha nā nīnau e pono iaʻu e nīnau aku i kaʻu kauka maka?

Ke kipa aku ʻoe i kāu kauka maka, hiki iā ʻoe ke nīnau i nā nīnau penei:

• ʻEhia pinepine e pono ai iaʻu e nānā i koʻu mau maka?
• He aha ke ʻano o nā aniani hoʻoponopono e pono ai iaʻu (nā aniani a i ʻole nā ​​​​aniani hoʻopili)?
• He aha nā hoʻokolohua e pono ai iaʻu e hana?
• E pono anei iaʻu kekahi lāʻau lapaʻau no koʻu mau maka a i ʻole ka ʻike?

Ma waho aʻe o kēia mau nīnau, he mea nui loa ia e hoʻoponopono i kekahi hopohopo āu e pili ana i kou mau maka.

He aha ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o ke kauka maka a me ke kauka maka?

ʻOiai pili kēia mau mea ʻelua i ke olakino o kou mau maka, ʻokoʻa ko lāua kūlana.

• Kauka maka: E like me kā mākou i kūkākūkā ai ma mua, hiki i kahi kauka maka ke ʻike a mālama i nā pilikia me kou mau maka, a hana i kāu mau hoʻokolohua maka maʻamau. ʻO lākou ka poʻe e kuhikuhi i nā aniani a i ʻole nā ​​​​​​aniani hoʻopili nou.
• Kauka Maka: ʻO ka loea maka he kanaka e hana pū ana me nā kauka maka a me nā kauka maka. Loaʻa iā lākou ke kēkelē loea ʻelua makahiki a i ʻole ka palapala hōʻoia. E hoʻokomo ka kauka maka i kāu mau aniani e kūpono i kou helehelena, i kekahi manawa e hoʻokomo i nā aniani hoʻopili, a e hoʻokomo a hoʻoponopono i kāu mau aniani, nā aniani, a i ʻole nā ​​mōlina. ʻAʻole lākou e nānā a kuhikuhi paha i nā lāʻau lapaʻau.

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, inā makemake ʻoe e nānā i kou mau maka a i ʻole e nānā ʻia kahi maʻi, hele ʻoe i kahi kauka maka. Hele ʻoe i kahi kauka maka e hana i nā aniani no ke kauoha a lākou e hāʻawi ai iā ʻoe.

ʻO ka mea hope loa, nā mea e hoʻomanaʻo ai

Hiki i ke kauka maka ke mālama i kekahi ʻano maʻi e hoʻopilikia ai i kou mau maka a i ʻole ka ʻike. Hiki i nā hoʻokolohua maka maʻamau ke kōkua iā ʻoe e ʻike i nā loli a i ʻole nā ​​​​pilikia me kou mau maka i ka wā mua.

Mai hoʻowahāwahā i nā loli i kou ʻike, ka palalulu hou, a i ʻole ka ʻeha o ka maka. ʻOiai inā paha he mau mea liʻiliʻi kēia iā ʻoe, mai hoʻāʻo e hoʻopilikia i ke olakino o kou mau maka. Hiki i kāu kauka maka ke kōkua iā ʻoe e hoʻomaopopo i ke kumu o kou mau pilikia a pehea e hoʻokele ai iā lākou. Hiki iā lākou ke ʻōlelo i nā lāʻau lapaʻau e kōkua iā ʻoe e ʻike maopopo i ke ao nei. No laila, e mālama pono i kou mau maka!
