Ngaba wakha wazibuza ukuba kwenzeka ntoni xa uxinzelelo olusemehlweni akho luphakama kakhulu? Usenokuba ukhe waziva iintlungu zamehlo ngequbuliso okanye umbono ofipheleyo ngaxa lithile. Namhlanje, eNirogi Lanka, sifuna ukuthetha nawe ngemeko yamehlo enzulu efuna ingqalelo yakho ngokukhawuleza, kodwa ilawuleka kakhulu xa iqondwa kakuhle: i-Angle-Closure Glaucoma.
Yintoni i-Angle-Closure Glaucoma?
Ngamafutshane, i-angle-closure glaucoma yenye yeentlobo ezimbini eziphambili ze-glaucoma. I-Glaucoma ibhekisa kwimeko apho uxinzelelo olungaphakathi kweliso lakho—olwaziwa ngokwezonyango njengoxinzelelo lwangaphakathi kweso (IOP) —luphakama ngaphezu kwamanqanaba akhuselekileyo.
Ukuze ube nombono onjalo, khawuthelekelele iliso lakho lizaliswe lulwelo olukhethekileyo olubizwa ngokuba yi-aqueous humor.Olu lwelo luhlala luveliswa, kwaye ulwelo oludala luphuma ngenkqubo encinci yomjelo. Ukuba le ndlela yokukhupha amanzi ivalekile nangasiphi na isizathu, ulwelo luyaqokelelana, nto leyo ebangela ukuba uxinzelelo lwamehlo akho lunyuke.
Kwi-angle-closure glaucoma, iris yakho (inxalenye enemibala yeliso lakho) iya phambili okanye idumbe, ivale i-engile yokukhupha amanzi emzimbeni. Oku kungenzeka ngequbuliso okanye kukhule kancinci kancinci ngokuhamba kwexesha. Usenokuva oku kubizwa ngokuba yi -closed-angle glaucoma.
Ngaba kukho iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zeglaucoma evala i-angle?
Ewe, kukho iindlela eziphambili ezininzi. Makhe sikuchazele zona:
1. I-Glaucoma ePhambili yokuVala i-Angle
Oku kwahlulwe ngeendlela ezintathu:
- I-Acute Angle-Closure Glaucoma: Le yimeko engxamisekileyo yezonyango. Yenzeka ngequbuliso, kwaye ngaphandle kokungenelela kwangoko kwezonyango, inokukhokelela ekulahlekelweni kombono ngokusisigxina. Iimpawu ziquka iintlungu ezinkulu zamehlo, umbono ofipheleyo, ukubona ii-halos ezijikeleze izibane, isicaphucaphu, ukuhlanza, kunye neliso elibomvu. Cinga ngayo njengemeko ebalulekileyo efuna unyango olukhawulezileyo kwicandelo likaxakeka ukuze ugcine ukubona kwakho.
- I-Glaucoma eValwayo yi-Angle-Closure Glaucoma: Kwimeko enjalo, indlela yokukhupha amanzi iyavuleka ize ivaleke ngamaxesha athile. Usenokubona iimpawu eziza ziphinde zihambe.
- I-Chronic Angle-Closure Glaucoma: Amaxesha amaninzi, akukho zimpawu zibonakalayo ekuqaleni. Iimpawu zinokukhula kancinci kancinci ngokuhamba kwexesha, okanye imeko inokuqhubeka iye kwimeko ebukhali okanye ikhokelele ekonakaleni kwemithambo-luvo yamehlo okungapheliyo ngenxa yoxinzelelo oluphezulu oluqhubekayo.
2. I-Glaucoma yeSibini eValwayo yi-Angle
Oku kwenzeka ngenxa yezinye iimeko ezisisiseko, ezifana nezi:
- Isifo seswekile esingalawulekiyo: Oku kunokukhokelela kwiingxaki ezifana ne-proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
- Uxinzelelo lwegazi olungalawulekiyo okanye ezinye iingxaki zemithambo yegazi, ezifana nokuvaleka kwemithambo ephakathi kwe-ischemic.
- I-Uveitis: Ukudumba ngaphakathi kweliso.
- Utshintsho kwimiva okanye kwisakhiwo olubangelwa kukwenzakala kwamehlo okanye ukudumba okungapheliyo.
Ixhaphake kangakanani le meko?
Izibalo zibonisa ukuba malunga nomntu omnye kwabayi-1,000 unokufumana i-angle-closure glaucoma, kwaye umngcipheko wokukhula kwayo uyanda kakhulu emva kweminyaka engama-40.
Kuqikelelwa ukuba abantu abangaphezu kwezigidi ezili-17 abaneminyaka engaphezu kwama-40 kwihlabathi liphela banesifo se-primary angle-closure glaucoma. Uninzi—malunga nezigidi ezili-12—lukumazwe aseAsia. Ke ngoko, eNirogi Lanka, sigxininisa ukubaluleka kokuhlolwa kwamehlo rhoqo kwabo bakwiindawo ezinobungozi obukhulu.
Zithini iimpawu zeglaucoma evalekileyo ngecala?
Njengoko kukhankanyiwe, i-Acute Angle-Closure GlaucomaIbonakala ngeempawu ezifuna ingqalelo ekhawulezileyo:
- Intlungu yamehlo enzulu (ngamanye amaxesha ayinyamezeleki).
- Ububomvu beliso.
- Ukulahlekelwa yimbono ngequbuliso okanye ukufiphala.
- Ukubona ii-halo ezinombala we-rainbow zijikeleze izibane.
- Intloko ebuhlungu (idla ngokuba kwicala elinye neliso elichaphazelekayo).
- Isicaphucaphu nokuhlanza.
Ukuba ufumana ezi mpawu ngequbuliso, ziphathe njengengxamiseko yezonyango kwaye ufune unyango kwisibhedlele esikufutshane nawe okanye kwiinkonzo zongxamiseko ngoko nangoko!
Kwiimeko ezingapheliyo okanye ezingezizo ezibukhali , usenokungaziboni rhoqo iimpawu. Nangona kunjalo, unokufumana oku kulandelayo:
- Ukubomvu kwamehlo okungapheliyo.
- Ukubona okufipheleyo ngamanye amaxesha.
- Ukungakhululeki kwamehlo (ukuziva uxinezelekile okanye ubunzima).
- Intloko ebuhlungu okanye iintlungu ezijikeleze ibunzi.
Kutheni kukho i-glaucoma evala i-angle?
Oku kwenzeka xa i-aqueous humor ingakwazi ukujikeleza okanye ukuvuza kakuhle. Ngenxa yokuba umzimba wakho uqhubeka nokuvelisa ulwelo olutsha, ukungakwazi ukuvuza ulwelo oludala kubangela uxinzelelo ngaphakathi kweliso.
Olu xinzelelo luphezulu lubeka uxinzelelo olukhulu kwi-optic nerve yakho, eyinto ebalulekileyo phakathi kweliso lakho nengqondo yakho, nto leyo ekhokelela kumonakalo ongenakulungiseka ukuba awunyangwa.
Nangona kukho izinto ezininzi, eyona nto ixhaphakileyo kukuba njengoko ukhula, ilensi yakho yendalo iyaqina kwaye ityhalela phambili, icinezele kwi-iris yakho kwaye ivale i-engile yokukhupha amanzi.
Ingaba oku kukufuzwa njengelifa?
Uphando lubonise ukuba i-angle-closure glaucoma inxulunyaniswa nembali yosapho lwakho kunye nezinto ezithile zemfuza . Oku kuthetha ukuba ukuba isalamane esisondeleyo sifunyenwe sinale meko, usenokuba semngciphekweni omkhulu. Ngenxa yesi sizathu, kubalulekile ukuba uxoxe ngembali yempilo yamehlo yosapho lwakho nogqirha wakho eNirogi Lanka.
Ziziphi izinto ezibangela umngcipheko we-angle-closure glaucoma?
Kukho izinto ezininzi ezibalulekileyo ezinokubangela umngcipheko kule meko:
- Ubudala: Njengoko ukhula, umngcipheko wakho uyanda ngenxa yotshintsho olunokwenzeka emehlweni akho kunye nokunyuka koxinzelelo lwangaphakathi kweso (IOP).
