IsiPinguecula

I-pingueculum ukukhula okuvamile, okungenasifo se-conjunctiva. Lesi isicubu esicacile, esincanyana esihlanganisa ingxenye emhlophe yeso (sclera). Ukukhula kwenzeka engxenyeni ye-conjunctiva evezwa lapho iso livulekile.

Imbangela ngqo ayikaziwa. Ukuvezwa yilanga isikhathi eside nokucasulwa kwamehlo kungaba yizimbangela. I-Arc-welding iyingozi enkulu ehlobene nomsebenzi.

I-pingueculum ibukeka njengeqhubu elincane, eliphuzi ku-conjunctiva eduzane ne-cornea. Ingabonakala ngapha nangapha kwe-cornea. Kodwa-ke, kwenzeka kaningi ohlangothini lwekhala (lamakhala). Ukukhula kungakhula ngosayizi eminyakeni eminingi.

Ukuhlolwa kwamehlo kaningi ngokwanele ukuthola lesi sifo.

Ukuphela kokwelapha okudingekayo ezimweni eziningi ukusetshenziswa kokugcoba iso amaconsi. Ukugcina iso limanzi ngezinyembezi zokuzenzela kungasiza ekuvimbeleni indawo ukuthi ivuvukale. Ukusetshenziswa kwesikhashana kwamaconsi wamehlo amancane we-steroid nakho kungasiza. Imvamisa, ukukhula kungadinga ukususwa ukuze kududuzeke noma ngenxa yezizathu zezimonyo.

Lesi simo asinomdlavuza (sinobungozi) futhi umbono muhle.

I-pingueculum ingakhula ngaphezu kwe-cornea futhi ivimbele umbono. Uma lokhu kwenzeka, ukukhula kubizwa ngokuthi yi-pterygium. Lezi zimo ezimbili zenzeka ngaphansi kwezimo ezifanayo. Kodwa-ke, kucatshangwa ukuthi yizifo ezihlukene.

Shayela umhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwezempilo uma i-pingueculum ishintsha ngosayizi, ukuma, noma umbala, noma uma ungathanda ukuthi isuswe.

Izinto ongazenza ezingasiza ekuvikeleni i-pingueculum noma zigcine inkinga ekubi kakhulu zifaka:

• Ukugcina iso ligcotshiswe kahle ngezinyembezi zokuzenzela
• Ukugqoka izibuko zelanga ezisezingeni eliphakeme
• Ukugwema okucasula iso

• Ukwakheka kwamehlo
