E kamaʻilio hou mākou e pili ana i kēlā ʻokoʻa ma hope.

E noʻonoʻo i ka nui o ka hoʻolaʻa a me ka manawa e pono ai e lilo i mea akamai!
ʻO kēia ke ala maʻamau e lilo ai i ophthalmologist:
1. Kekelē mua: He kekelē ʻepekema ʻehā makahiki, pinepine ma ke ʻano he hoʻomākaukau no ke kula lapaʻau.
2. Kula Lapaʻau: A laila pono ʻoe e hele i ke kula lapaʻau a loaʻa i ke kēkelē lapaʻau (MD a i ʻole DO).

Ma hope o ka pau ʻana o kēia mau mea a pau, pono ʻoe e kiʻi i kahi laikini e hana ai i ka lāʻau lapaʻau mai ka papa hoʻoponopono mokuʻāina pili. E nānā, he huakaʻi lōʻihi loa! ʻO ia ke kumu i loaʻa ai iā lākou ka ʻike hohonu e pili ana i ko mākou mau maka.
He aha ka hana a ke kauka maka?
Hiki i ke kauka maka ke hāʻawi i kahi lawelawe piha no kou mau maka. ʻO ke ʻano kēia:
- Hoʻokolokolo maka: Nānā mākou i ke ʻano o kou ʻike a inā he mau pilikia me kou mau maka.

- Ke kuhikuhi ʻana i nā lāʻau lapaʻau:Hāʻawi lākou i nā mea e like me nā kulu maka a me nā lāʻau lapaʻau waha.
- ʻO ke ʻoki maka: Inā pono, hana ʻia nā ʻano ʻoki maka like ʻole e like me ke ʻoki cataract a me ke ʻoki glaucoma.
I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, hiki i kahi kauka maka ke mālama i nā mea āpau mai A a Z e pili ana i ke olakino o kou mau maka.
I ka manawa hea mākou e ʻike ai i ke kauka maka?
Hiki i ke kauka maka ke ʻike a mālama i nā ʻano pilikia like ʻole o ka maka a me ka ʻike. Eia kekahi laʻana:
- ʻIke mamao/Hyperopia
- ʻIke kokoke/Myopia
- ʻO ka Astigmatism (ʻike maka pohihihi ma muli o ka loli ʻana o ke ʻano o ka lens o ka maka)

- Nā pilikia maka e hele mai me ka ʻelemakule (e.g., macular degeneration)
Pono ʻoe e ʻike i kahi ophthalmologist, ʻoiai inā:
- Inā he cataracts kou (pono paha ke ʻoki ʻana)

E noʻonoʻo, ʻōlelo mai kou makuahine a makuakāne paha i ko lākou wā ʻelemakule, ua paʻakikī iā lākou ke nānā i ke TV a heluhelu paha i ka nūpepa, a me he mea lā e polū ana ko lākou mau maka ke nānā aku lākou i ke kukui. He hōʻailona paha kēlā o ka cataracts. A laila, pono lākou e ʻike i kahi kauka maka, e nānā ʻia, a inā pono, e hana i kahi ʻoki liʻiliʻi e hoʻoponopono ai.
ʻEhia pinepine e pono ai ke nānā ʻia kou mau maka?
Ma ka nānā pinepine ʻana i kou mau maka a me kou ʻike, hiki i kahi kauka maka ke ʻike i nā pilikia i ka wā mua . ʻOkoʻa ka awelika o nā hoʻokolohua maka ma muli o kou makahiki:
- Nā kamaliʻi: A hiki i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kāu keiki i ke kula, e nānā kā lākou kauka lapaʻau i ko lākou mau maka i kēlā me kēia nānā lapaʻau. Ma hope o kēlā, i kēlā me kēia makahiki a ʻelua paha.

- Nā mākua ma luna o 55 mau makahiki: I kēlā me kēia makahiki hoʻokahi a ʻekolu.
ʻO ka mea nui loa! Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe ka maʻi diabetes, pono ʻoe e nānā i kou mau maka ma ka liʻiliʻi hoʻokahi manawa i ka makahiki . No ka mea ʻoi aku ka nui o ka maʻi diabetes e hōʻino i nā maka, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka mālama ʻana inā ʻike mua ʻia.
Inā ʻoe e komo i nā aniani maka a i ʻole nā aniani hoʻopili, pono paha ʻoe e nānā pinepine ʻia kou mau maka. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka nīnau ʻana i kāu kauka maka a i ʻole ka mea mālama ola e pili ana i kēia.
Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kēia mau hōʻailona, e ʻike koke i ke kauka!
Inā ʻike ʻoe i kekahi mau loli koke i kou ʻike, a inā paha e loaʻa iā ʻoe nā hōʻailona maka hou, e ʻike koke i kahi ophthalmologist a i ʻole kekahi loea mālama maka ʻē aʻe. E makaʻala i kēia mau mea:
- ʻEha maka e nalowale ʻole ana no kekahi mau lā.
- ʻIke pōwehiwehi.
- ʻIke pālua (Diplopia).
- ʻUlaʻula o nā maka.
- Ka paʻakikī i ka nānā ʻana i ka mālamalama, ka ʻike maka pōwehiwehi (Photophobia).
- Inā manaʻo ʻoe e emi mālie ana kou ʻike maopopo .
- Inā hoʻomaka ʻoe e ʻike i nā mea ʻeleʻele liʻiliʻi e lana ana i mua o kou mau maka, a inā ʻike ʻoe i nā kukui uila .
Inā ʻike ʻoe i kahi hōʻailona e like me kēia , mai hopohopo, akā, mai palaualelo hoʻi. He mea naʻauao ke ʻimi koke i ke kōkua lapaʻau.
He aha kaʻu e nīnau aku ai i kaʻu kauka maka?
Ke kipa aku ʻoe i kahi kauka maka, mai makaʻu e nīnau i kekahi mau nīnau a hopohopo paha āu e loaʻa ai. Aia lākou ma laila e kōkua iā ʻoe. Eia kekahi mau nīnau hiki iā ʻoe ke nīnau:

- E pono anei iaʻu ke ʻoki maka?
- Inā hana ʻia ke ʻoki kino iaʻu, pehea ka lōʻihi e hoʻōla ai?
Ma ka nīnau ʻana i nā nīnau e like me kēia, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaopopo maikaʻi i kou kūlana a me kou lāʻau lapaʻau.
He aha ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o ka ophthalmologist a me ka optometrist?
ʻOiai hana nā mea ʻelua i ke olakino o ka maka, aia kekahi mau ʻokoʻa iki.
- Kauka Maka: ʻO kēia nā kauka i loaʻa ke kēkelē lapaʻau (MD a i ʻole DO) a ua aʻo ma ke kula lapaʻau. Hiki iā lākou ke ʻike a mālama i kekahi kūlana e hoʻopilikia ai i nā maka a me ka ʻike. ʻO ka mea nui loa, hiki iā lākou ke hana i ke ʻoki maka.
- Kauka Maka: He mau kauka optometry (OD) kēia. Hiki iā lākou ke ʻike a mālama i nā pilikia maka he nui. Akā, ʻaʻole lākou e hana i ke ʻoki maka. Inā manaʻo kāu Kauka Maka e pono ana kou mau maka i ke ʻoki ʻana, e kuhikuhi ʻo ia iā ʻoe i kahi Kauka Maka.
I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, hiki iā ʻoe ke hele i kahi kauka maka no ka hoʻokolokolo maka maʻamau a me nā aniani. Akā inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi maʻi e pono ai ke ʻoki ʻana, e like me ka cataracts a i ʻole glaucoma, a inā paʻakikī kou mau maka i ka maʻi diabetes, pono ʻoe e ʻike i kahi kauka maka.
ʻO ka mea hope loa, nā mea e hoʻomanaʻo ai (Leka Lawe-Home)
He kauka maka ke kauka maka nāna e kōkua iā ʻoe e mālama i nā ʻano āpau o kou olakino maka. Hiki iā lākou ke hana i nā hoʻokolohua maka maʻamau, mālama i nā pilikia ʻike, a hana pū i ke ʻoki kino no nā maʻi maka paʻakikī.
Hele kekahi poʻe i ke kauka maka no kēlā me kēia hoʻokolokolo maka. Hele wale kekahi ke pono lākou i ke ʻoki kino a i ʻole ka mālama kūikawā. Eia nō naʻe, ke ʻike ʻoe i ke kauka maka, mai makaʻu e nīnau. Ua kūpaʻa lākou e hāʻawi iā ʻoe i kahi ʻike maopopo o kēlā me kēia hoʻokolohua āu e loaʻa ai, nā hopena āu e loaʻa ai, a me ka mālama āu e pono ai.
Nau ke kuleana e mālama i kou mau maka. ʻAʻole loa e lohi ka loaʻa ʻana o ke aʻo lapaʻau maikaʻi loa!
