By eye discomfort often joins headache may twitch an eyelid. Barley can be located at one or both eyes, there may be several simultaneous barleys which sometimes coalesce into one. In such cases, a deterioration in the general condition of the patient, marked headache, increased body temperature, increased submandibular and parotid lymph nodes. Barley is often relapsing (recurring) character.

Acute purulent inflammation of the meibomian gland (internal barley) is different location on the edge of the barley does not age, and by the conjunctiva.

Sometimes barley may be complicated by cellulitis (ulcer, not delimited capsule from surrounding tissues) orbit, meningitis Meningitis - an inflammation of the meninges   (inflammation of the meninges), blockage (thrombosis) of the blood vessels of the brain, blood poisoning (sepsis).

Diagnosis in recurrent barley

Patients with barley, especially recurrent, should be carefully examined in order to identify foci of chronic infection and reduce immunity. Such patients must be conducted immunogram (a blood test that detects broken links of immunity) with subsequent consultation immunologist.

Treatment of barley

Treatment in early disease is painful region wetting point on the eyelid 70% alcohol 3-5 times a day, which often allows to suspend further development of barley.

For treatment of established barley used antibacterials (antibiotics and sulfonamides) in the form of drops and ointments. In addition, using dry heat, physical therapy (eg, UHF-therapy). It is not necessary to apply moist compresses and lotions, as they contribute to the local spread of infectious agents.

If the disease is accompanied by fever and general malaise, appointed general treatment (antibiotics and sulfonamides orally or by injection).

When recurrent barley shows vitamin and other fortifying agents, and treatment of disorders of immunity in immunologist.

Prevention of complications of barley is barley timely and active treatment of opportunistic diseases. Remember: barley in any case can not be squeezed, it can lead to serious complications: infection by the numerous blood vessels to spread to other organs and tissues.

Prevention of barley

Prevention of barley is in compliance with the rules of personal hygiene: wash your hands often, avoid touching your eyes with dirty hands, use only their own personal cosmetics, towels and other personal items. Of great importance is the strengthening of immunity Strengthening the immune system - help the immune system , This requires a varied and balanced diet, regular intake of vitamin-mineral complexes, hardening, active motor mode and enough sleep Dreams: how to understand our dreams .

Treatment of angle-closure glaucoma

For topical treatment of angle-closure glaucoma Angle-closure glaucoma - possibly severe course of the disease   most often used pilocarpine, carbacholine, aceclidine, timolol. Such drugs as phosphacol, tosmilen for the treatment of angle-closure glaucoma is not used as contribute to a sharp contraction of the pupil and can trigger the development of an acute attack of glaucoma.

Adrenaline Phethanolum, clonidine in this form of glaucoma is also contraindicated due to their ability to expand the pupil - it can enhance the blockade of rosy-corneal angle of the anterior chamber. Because of general steps to reduce intraocular pressure is applied inside the diakarb and glycerol.

Surgical treatment of glaucoma

Glaucoma Treatment can be surgical. By resorting to surgical treatment of glaucoma in the case where the medication is ineffective stable IOP reduction does not occur, the function of reduced, deteriorating the optic nerve.

Fistuliziruyuschie conducted operation in which the wall of the eyeball is a hole for drainage of the anterior chamber of the eye. When angle-closure glaucoma iridectomy conduct operations - operations aimed at eliminating pupillary block by creating a new way of outflow of aqueous humor from the posterior chamber into the hall.

Sometimes simultaneous surgical treatment of glaucoma and cataracts - cataracts Cataracts - how to solve the problem completely?   removed with simultaneous correction of the drainage system anterior eye chamber.

Laser treatment of glaucoma

The action based on either a laser applied to the drain region of the local burning followed by scarring and atrophy of its fabric. The most frequently used laser iridotomy and laser trabeculoplasty.

Treatment of glaucoma laser has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of laser operations is their quick and painless conduct (including in the outpatient setting), the restoration of the outflow of intraocular fluid on natural waterways, short rehabilitation period.

The disadvantages of this method include the relatively low therapeutic effect transactions (violations may occur again), increased intraocular pressure in the first hours after the operation and development of the inflammatory process in the future, possible injury to the surrounding tissue laser cells, the formation of adhesions in the area of ​​impact.

With open-angle glaucoma Open-angle glaucoma - occurs often goes unnoticed   goniopuncture use laser using argon or ruby ​​lasers. When angle-closure glaucoma surgery is performed laser iridotomy - formation of a small hole in the peripheral part of the iris.

Is there a cure glaucoma? Obviously, to get rid of the disease is impossible. However, with proper treatment, it is possible to maintain the visual function in the normal state.
