Theme for Glaucoma 2025

For the year 2025, this theme focuses on ‘clearly see the future’, which emphasizes the importance of initial identity, regular eye care and community education to prevent vision loss.

Black cataract recovery is not possible

Eye check must be done to avoid black cataract or glaucoma. If a member of the family is suffering from black cataract, then its risk increases by 10 times in such family members. Let me tell you that it is not possible to recover it if there is a decrease due to glaucoma in the veins (optic nerve) connecting the eyes working like cameras. No initial symptoms are seen in the body of this disease. Therefore, not regular checking can often lead to an eye light.

Eye routine check is necessary

According to the expert, those above 40 years should be examined in an interval of 2 to 3 years and those above 60 years should be examined every year. Apart from this, children’s eyes should also be examined from time to time, especially those who have suffered an eye injury. By doing this, blindness can be avoided. One special thing, do not take medicine by yourself or untrained if there is allergies in the eyes.

BP-Sugar take precaution

If someone has high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid disease, then they should pay more attention to the eyes. Because, the risk increases in this situation. In addition, people who take an inhaler for cough, nasal spray due to nasal allergies or any cream or injection for skin infection or injection for anti -aging, also increases the risk due to steroids.

Stress can increase the severity of illness

Stress promotes eye disease more. Due to this, cortisol hormone increases in the body. Due to this, the pressure of the eye increases. This increases the chances of becoming kalamotiya. According to the expert, the amount of normal pressure in the eye is 10 to 21 mm Hg. Due to stress, this pressure also increases as this cartisol hormone increases, which is extremely dangerous for eyesight.

Yoga will reduce black cataract risk

According to the expert, if people do Bhramari or Anulom-Villom daily, it makes a balance of cortisol hormones and reduces the risk of black cataract. He told that if there is black cataract, then such people should not do headstand or such asanas, in which the head has to be taken below the heart level.
