新竹台大分院眼科醫師提醒:青光眼早期無症狀,高危險群應定期檢查

Quick Look

新竹台大分院眼科醫師柯廷潔指出,青光眼早期多無明顯症狀,即使眼壓正常也可能視神經受損,提醒高度近視、家族史等高危險群定期眼科檢查,以免延誤治療導致重度視野損傷。

Why It Matters

青光眼是慢性視神經退化疾病,早期多無明顯症狀,許多人即使視力正常也可能已有視神經損傷或視野缺損。根據衛生福利部統計,到2024年底全台青光眼病人已超過52.5萬人,其中50歲以下病人占23.3%。

〔記者黃美珠/新竹報導〕新竹台大分院眼科部醫師柯廷潔最近接連收治2名年約40歲上下的青光眼病患,1人是高度近視患者,連3年眼壓偏高卻因平時視力良好、生活未受影響而沒追蹤,最近出現視野嚴重缺損才發現已是重度青光眼。另1人則是常壓型青光眼病患,也因沒有明顯不適而誤認為眼壓正常、病情穩定,沒有規律接受治療,最後也成了重度青光眼患者。

柯廷潔說,青光眼是慢性視神經退化疾病,早期多無明顯症狀,許多人即使視力正常,也可能已出現視神經損傷或視野缺損。由於疾病進展相當隱匿,病人往往在視野明顯受損後才察覺異常。臨床估計約有5到8成病人初期未能察覺自身罹病,往往是在健檢或因其他眼疾就醫才發現。

請繼續往下閱讀...

根據衛生福利部統計,到2024年底,全台青光眼病人已超過52.5萬人,其中50歲以下病人占23.3%,約每4名病人就有1人未滿50歲。因此如果高度近視超過600度、且有青光眼家族史、睡眠呼吸中止症,或長期使用類固醇藥物者,都屬青光眼高風險族群。

他說,青光眼的發生與眼壓及個體視神經耐受度有關。眼球內房水負責維持眼內壓穩定並提供角膜與晶狀體營養,當房水排出受阻時,可能導致眼壓上升並壓迫視神經。

部分病人即使眼壓維持在正常範圍,視神經仍可能持續受損,形成所謂的常壓型青光眼,因此青光眼的診斷在參考眼壓數值外,仍需經視神經檢查、眼底評估及視野檢查做綜合判斷,儘早發現且持續用藥或以雷射、手術治療,可有效延緩病程惡化。

Whether a person is fat or not depends on the "roundness index", which is more reliable than BMI

The article points out that the BMI index has limitations and cannot accurately reflect body composition, which may mislead bodybuilders and those with excess visceral fat. Introducing the BRI index (Body Roundness Index) as an alternative, which is calculated through height and waist circumference, and can better assess visceral fat accumulation and related health risks, especially for middle-aged and elderly men, which is more accurate in predicting chronic diseases. The article also provides the measurement method, reference range and limitations of BRI, emphasizing that healthy lifestyle is the core.

Interpretation of pulmonary nodule reports: More than 95% are benign, but attention needs to be paid to density, morphology and follow-up changes

Pulmonary nodules are common in physical examination, and more than 95% are benign. However, the risk of malignancy depends not only on the size, but also on the density type (for example, mixed ground-glass nodules have a higher risk), morphological characteristics (burrs, lobes, etc. increase the risk) and dynamic follow-up changes. Non-smokers may also suffer from lung cancer, which is often asymptomatic in the early stages. People who develop dry cough, hemoptysis, shoulder and back pain, etc. need to be vigilant. Annual low-dose spiral CT screening is recommended for high-risk groups, and the report should be evaluated by a specialist.

Breakfast habits affect aging speed: experts warn of risks of high-sugar and high-fat foods

Experts point out that consuming high-sugar, high-fat and highly processed foods for breakfast will accelerate biological aging. Studies have shown that the glycation end products in bacon, sugary drinks, and ultra-processed foods such as French croissants are all related to the risk of chronic diseases and accelerated aging. It is recommended to replace them with water or sugar-free drinks.
