Recently, a news about drinking water rushed to the hot search, to the effect that a lady in Changsha set an alarm clock to remind herself to drink 8 glasses of water a day for the sake of health. As a result, she drank 1000ml of water at a time, resulting in sudden acute angle-closure glaucoma. The disease can cause blindness in severe cases. So many friends became anxious, drinking water can also cause blindness? How should I drink water? The picture comes from the Internet. Let’s talk about the conclusion first. This situation is relatively rare. The main reason this time is that the lady has a high risk factor for glaucoma, and ordinary people don’t have to worry about drinking water to affect their eyes. So, what does drinking water have to do with glaucoma? It turns out that drinking a lot of water at one time will lead to blood dilution and decrease of plasma osmotic pressure, which will increase the production rate of aqueous humor in the eyeball, which will indirectly lead to increased intraocular pressure. When this happens, ordinary people can adjust the amount of aqueous humor by accelerating metabolism, so that the intraocular pressure is within the normal range, while people with high risk factors for glaucoma have poor ability to adjust intraocular pressure and cannot remove excess aqueous humor in time. Increased intraocular pressure can lead to disease. Therefore, ordinary people will not have their eyes affected just because they drink more water, but for high-risk groups or patients with glaucoma, it is indeed necessary to drink water.
