Ushwankathelo

Iiplagi zepunctal, ezibizwa ngokuba ziiplagi zelacrimal, zizixhobo ezincinci ezisetyenziselwa ukunyanga isifo semehlo esomileyo. Isifo esamehlo esomileyo saziwa nangamehlo angapheliyo.

Ukuba une-eye eye syndrome, amehlo akho avelisi iinyembezi ezisemgangathweni ngokwaneleyo ukuze ugcine amehlo akho ethanjisiwe. Iimpawu zamehlo owomileyo zibandakanya:

• ukutshisa
• ukukrwela
• ukungaboni kakuhle

Ukoma okuqhubekayo kukukhuthaza ukuba uvelise iinyembezi ngakumbi, kodwa ubukhulu becala ngamanzi kwaye awanyibilikisi ngokwaneleyo amehlo akho. Ke, wenza iinyembezi ngakumbi kunokubamba kwamehlo akho, oko kuhlala kukhokelela ekuphuphumeni.

Ukuba wenza iinyembezi ezininzi kwaye amehlo akho aqengqeleka kakhulu, inokuba luphawu lokuba une-eye eye syndrome.

Isifo esamehlo esomileyo sinokuhlala siphuculwa ngokusetyenziswa kweenyembezi zokwenza izinto ezingaphezulu kwekhawuntareni ezidityaniswe notshintsho kwindlela yokuphila embalwa. Ukuba ayisebenzi loo nto, ugqirha wamehlo akho angakunika amayeza afana necyclosporine (iRestasis, iSandimmune).

Ndingayilungiselela njani le nkqubo?

Ngaphambi kokufumana iiplagi zepunctal, uyakufuna uviwo lwamehlo olubanzi.

Ukuba wena nogqirha uyavuma ukuba iiplagi zepunctal lolona khetho lwakho, kuya kufuneka uthathe isigqibo ngohlobo. Iiplagi zepunctal zexeshana zenziwe nge-collagen, kwaye ziya kunyibilika emva kweenyanga ezimbalwa. Iiplagi ezenziwe nge-silicone zenzelwe ukuba zihlale iminyaka.

Iiplagi ziza ngobukhulu obahlukeneyo, ke ugqirha wakho kuya kufuneka alinganise ukuvulwa kwendlela yakho yezinyembezi.

Akukho mfuneko ye-anesthesia ngokubanzi, ngoko akuyi kufuneka ukhawuleze. Ngapha koko, akukho nto kufuneka uyenze ukulungiselela inkqubo.

Zifakwa njani iiplagi zepunctal?

Ukufakwa kweplagi yepunctal kwenziwa kwisigulana esingaphandle.

Uya kuhlala uphaphile ngexesha lenkqubo. Le nkqubo yokungafunekiyo ayifuni nto ngaphandle kokuncipha kwamehlo.

Ugqirha wakho uya kusebenzisa isixhobo esikhethekileyo ukufaka iiplagi. Unokuba nokungonwabi okuncinci, kodwa ngokubanzi akukho buhlungu. Ukususela ekuqaleni ukuya ekugqibeleni, inkqubo kufuneka ithathe kuphela imizuzu embalwa. Nje ukuba iiplagi zingene, ngekhe ubenako ukuziva.

Kuza kuba njani ukuchacha?

Kuya kufuneka uphinde uqalise imisebenzi yesiqhelo, njengokuqhuba, kwangoko.

Iiplagi zethutyana ziyanyibilika zodwa zingaphelanga iinyanga ezimbalwa. Ingxaki yamehlo akho omileyo inokubuya, nangona kunjalo. Ukuba oko kuyenzeka kwaye iiplagi bezinceda, uhlobo olusisigxina lunokuba lolona lukhetho lungcono kuwe.

Ugqirha wakho uya kukuyalela ukuba kufuneka ubuye kangaphi ukuze ulandele. Ukuba uneliso elomileyo, okanye usulelo ngenxa yeeplagi zepunctal, ugqirha wakho unokufuna ukukujonga amatyeli ambalwa ngonyaka.

Zeziphi iingxaki ezinokubakho?

Nokuba inkqubo elula inokubangela iingxaki.

Enye ingxaki enokwenzeka kukusuleleka. Iimpawu zosulelo zibandakanya ukuthamba, ubomvu, kunye nokukhutshwa. Amayeza anokuzicoca iimeko ezininzi zosulelo. Ukuba akunjalo, iiplagi kungafuneka zisuswe.

Kwakhona kunokwenzeka ukuba iplagi ihambe ngaphandle kwendawo, kwimeko apho kufuneka isuswe. Ukuba iplagi iyawa, mhlawumbi kungenxa yokuba ibincinci. Ugqirha wakho unokuphinda inkqubo esebenzisa iplagi enkulu.

Iiplagi zepunctal zinokususwa ngokulula nangokukhawuleza njengoko zifakwa. Ukuba iplagi iphumile endaweni yayo, ugqirha wakho usenokukwazi ukuyikhupha ngesisombululo seetyuwa. Ukuba akunjalo, isibini esincinci se-forceps yiyo yonke into efunekayo.

Yintoni imbonakalo?

Akukho lunyango lweliso elomileyo. Injongo yonyango kukwenza lula iimpawu.

Ingxelo ka-2015 yeAmerican Academy of Ophthalmology iqaphele ukuba iiplagi zepunctal ziphucula iimpawu zamehlo omileyo aphakathi angaphenduli ukuthambisa ioyile. Ingxelo ikwaqukumbele ukuba iingxaki ezinzulu azenzeki rhoqo.

Ukuba unengxaki kwiiplagi zakho, yazisa ugqirha wakho kwangoko. Usulelo kufuneka lunyangwe ngokukhawuleza. Iiplagi zinokususwa ngokukhuselekileyo ukuba kukho imfuneko.

Iingcebiso zokulawula isifo semehlo esomileyo

Nokuba unayo okanye awunayo iiplagi zepunctal, nazi iingcebiso ezimbalwa ezinokuphucula iimpawu zesifo esomileyo wamehlo:

• Phumla amehlo akho. Ukuba ujonge kwizikrini ze-elektroniki imini yonke, qiniseka ukuba uqhwanyaza rhoqo kwaye uthathe ikhefu rhoqo.
• Sebenzisa isihlanganisi ukugcina umoya wangaphakathi ufumile.
• Sebenzisa isihluzo somoya ukunciphisa uthuli.
• Hlala ngaphandle kwempepho. Sukujongana nabalandeli, umoya opholileyo, okanye ezinye izitshisi ezinokuthi zome amehlo akho.
• Ukuthambisa amehlo akho. U-Useeye wehla amatyeli aliqela ngosuku. Khetha iimveliso ezithi "iinyembezi ezingezizo ezokwenyani," kodwa ziphephe ezo zinokugcinwa.
• Khusela amehlo akho ngaphandle ngokunxiba iiglasi okanye iiglasi zelanga ezikulungeleyo ebusweni bakho.

Iimpawu zamehlo owomileyo zinokutshintsha-tshintsha ukuze ngamanye amaxesha ufune ukuguqula iindlela zonyango.

Ukuba loo manyathelo awanelanga ukunciphisa iimpawu, jonga ugqirha wakho ukuze aqiniseke ukuba ufumana uxilongo oluchanekileyo. Iliso elomileyo ngamanye amaxesha linokuba luphawu lwesifo esisisiseko okanye isiphumo secala lonyango.

Cinga ngokubuza ugqirha wakho le mibuzo ilandelayo:

• Yintoni ebangela iimpawu zam?
• Ngaba lukhona utshintsho endinokulwenza ukuphucula iimpawu zamehlo owomileyo?
• Ngaba kufuneka ndisebenzise amathontsi wamehlo, kwaye ukuba kunjalo, loluphi uhlobo endifanele ndilukhethe?
• Ngaba kufuneka ndizame amayeza wamehlo amiselweyo njengecyclosporine (iRestasis, iSandimmune)?
• Ndiza kusebenzisa ixesha elingakanani ngaphambi kokuba ndazi ukuba azisebenzi?
• Ukuba ndineeplagi zepunctal, ngaba kuya kufuneka ndisebenzise amathontsi wamehlo?
• Ngaba kufuneka ndincame iilensi zam zonxibelelwano?
• Ngaba kufanelekile ukuba ndikhathazeke xa ndibona okanye ndiziva iiplagi?
• Kukangaphi ndifuna iiplagi zitshekishwe?
