IPterygium

I-pterygium kukukhula kwe-conjunctiva okanye i-mucous membrane egubungela indawo emhlophe yamehlo akho kwi-cornea. I-cornea isiciko esingaphambili seliso. Olu khula lubi okanye lungahlanjululwanga luhlala lubunjwe nge-wedge. I-pterygium ihlala ingabangeli ngxaki okanye ifune unyango, kodwa inokususwa ukuba iphazamisa umbono wakho.

Ibangelwa yintoni?

Oyena nobangela wepterygium awaziwa. Enye inkcazo kukuba ukukhanya kakhulu kwi-ultraviolet (UV) kunokukhokelela koku kukhula. Yenzeka rhoqo kubantu abahlala kwiindawo ezifudumeleyo kwaye bachitha ixesha elininzi ngaphandle kwindawo ezinelanga okanye ezinomoya. Abantu abanamehlo avele kwizinto ezithile rhoqo banomngcipheko ophezulu wokukhula kwale meko. Ezi zinto zibandakanya:

• umungu
• isanti
• umsi
• umoya

Ziintoni iimpawu?

I-pterygium ayisoloko ibangela iimpawu. Xa kunjalo, iimpawu zihlala ziphakathi. Iimpawu eziqhelekileyo zibandakanya ubomvu, ukungaboni kakuhle, kunye nokucaphuka kwamehlo. Unokuziva uziva utshisa okanye urhawuzelele. Ukuba i-pterygium ikhula ngokwaneleyo ukuba ingagubungela i-cornea yakho, inokuphazamisa umbono wakho. Ukuqina okanye i-pterygium enkulu inokubangela ukuba uzive ngathi unento yelinye iliso kwiso lakho. Usenokungakwazi ukuqhubeka unxibe iilensi zonxibelelwano xa une-pterygium ngenxa yokungonwabi.

Inzulu kangakanani?

I-pterygium inokukhokelela kubunzima obukhulu kwi-cornea yakho, kodwa oku kunqabile. Ukuqhekeka kwi-cornea kufuneka kunyangwe kuba kunokubangela ukulahleka kombono. Kumatyala amancinci, unyango luhlala lubandakanya ukuhla kwamehlo okanye ioyile ukunyanga ukudumba. Kwiimeko ezinzima kakhulu, unyango lunokubandakanya ukususwa kotyando lwepterygium.

Kufunyaniswa njani?

Ukuchonga i-pterygium ngqo. Ugqirha wamehlo akho unokuyixilonga le meko esekwe kuvavanyo lomzimba usebenzisa isibane esikrelekrele. Esi sibane sivumela ugqirha wakho ukuba abone iliso lakho ngoncedo lokukhulisa kunye nokukhanya okukhanyayo. Ukuba ugqirha wakho kufuneka enze iimvavanyo ezongezelelweyo, zingabandakanya:

• Uvavanyo lwe-acuity ebonakalayo. Olu vavanyo lubandakanya ukufunda iileta kwitshathi yamehlo.
• Ubume beCorneal topography. Obu buchule beemephu zonyango busetyenziselwa ukulinganisa utshintsho kwi-cornea yakho.
• Amaxwebhu efoto. Le nkqubo ibandakanya ukuthatha imifanekiso ukulandelela izinga lokukhula kwepterygium.

Inyangwa njani?

I-pterygium ihlala ingafuni naluphi na unyango ngaphandle kokuba ibhloka umbono wakho okanye ibangela ukungonwabi okukhulu. Ugqirha wamehlo wakho unokufuna ukujonga amehlo akho ngamanye amaxesha ukubona ukuba ukukhula kubangela iingxaki zombono.

Amayeza

Ukuba i-pterygium ibangela ukucaphuka okanye ubomvu obuninzi, ugqirha wakho unokumisela amathontsi wamehlo okanye amafutha okuthambisa iliso ane-corticosteroids ukunciphisa ukudumba.

Ugqirha

Ugqirha wakho unokucebisa utyando ukususa i-pterygium ukuba wamehlo okanye ioyile ayiniki sibonelelo. Utyando luyenziwa kwakhona xa i-pterygium ibangela ukulahleka kombono okanye imeko ebizwa ngokuba yi-astigmatism, enokubangela umbono ongacacanga. Unokuxoxa nangeenkqubo zotyando kunye nogqirha wakho ukuba ufuna i-pterygium isuswe ngezizathu zokuthambisa.

Kukho iingozi ezimbalwa ezinxulumene nale misebenzi. Ngamanye amaxesha, i-pterygium inokubuya emva kokuba isuswe ngotyando. Iliso lakho linokuziva lomile kwaye licaphukile emva kotyando. Ugqirha wakho unokuyalela amayeza ukubonelela ngoncedo kunye nokunciphisa umngcipheko wokuba ne-pterygium ikhule kwakhona.

Ndingakuthintela njani ukufumana i-pterygium?

Ukuba kunokwenzeka, kunqande ukubonakaliswa kwimeko yendalo enokubangela i-pterygium. Unokukunceda ukuthintela ukukhula kwepterygium ngokunxiba iiglasi zelanga okanye umnqwazi ukukhusela amehlo akho elangeni, emoyeni nakuthuli. Iindondo zakho zelanga kufuneka zibonelele ngokhuseleko kwimitha yelanga ye-ultraviolet (UV). Ukuba sele unayo i-pterygium, ukunciphisa ukubonakaliswa kwakho kwezi zinto zilandelayo kunokunciphisa ukukhula kwayo:

• umoya
• uthuli
• umungu
• umsi
• ukukhanya kwelanga

Ukuthintela le miba kunokunceda ekuthinteleni i-pterygiums ekubuyeni ukuba ukhe wasuswa.
