Patient's question:
For several years, I have been staying up late looking at my phone, not sleeping until 3 or 4 a.m., and then waking up very late the next day. I don't know what happened again recently, but I've been feeling a bit blurry when looking at things, finding it hard to see clearly. I heard from others that staying up late looking at a phone can lead to glaucoma. I'm a bit worried, so I came here to ask what the symptoms of glaucoma are?Doctor's answer:
Glaucoma is generally accompanied by high intraocular pressure, corneal epithelial edema, and also includes migraines, nausea, and seeing halos around lights. If this condition is not present, it is not considered glaucoma. However, frequently looking at bright screens on mobile phones in the dark can lead to glaucoma. If you are really concerned, you can visit an ophthalmologist for a dark room light sensitivity test, a visual field test, and a check of the fundus. It is also important to pay attention to personal lifestyle habits and maintain a healthy diet.
