Ukubomvu kwamehlo

Ukubomvu kwamehlo kuvame kakhulu ngenxa yokuvuvukala noma kwemithambo yegazi evulekile. Lokhu kwenza ubuso beso bubukeke bubomvu noma bunegazi.

Kunezimbangela eziningi zeso elibomvu noma iso. Ezinye yizimo eziphuthumayo zezokwelapha. Ezinye ziyisizathu sokukhathazeka, kodwa hhayi isimo esiphuthumayo. Abaningi abakhathazeki ngalutho.

Ukubomvu kwamehlo kaningi akukhathazi kakhulu kunezinhlungu zamehlo noma izinkinga zombono.

Amehlo abomvu njengegazi abonakala ebomvu ngoba imithambo engaphezulu kwengxenye emhlophe yeso (i-sclera) iyavuvukala. Imikhumbi ingakhukhumala ngenxa:

• Ukoma kwamehlo
• Ukuchayeka kakhulu elangeni
• Uthuli noma ezinye izinhlayiya esweni
• Ukungezwani komzimba
• Ukutheleleka
• Ukulimala

Ukutheleleka kwamehlo noma ukuvuvukala kungadala ububomvu kanye nokushaya, ukukhipha, ubuhlungu, noma izinkinga zokubona. Lokhu kungabangelwa:

• I-Blepharitis: Ukuvuvukala onqenqemeni lwejwabu leso.
• I-Conjunctivitis: Ukuvuvukala noma ukutheleleka kwezicubu ezicacile ezibeka izinkophe futhi zimboze ubuso beso (i-conjunctiva). Lokhu kuvame ukubizwa ngokuthi "iso elibomvana."
• Izilonda ze-Corneal: Izilonda ku-cornea zivame ukubangelwa ukutheleleka okukhulu kwegciwane noma igciwane.
• I-Uveitis: Ukuvuvukala kwe-uvea, okubandakanya i-iris, umzimba we-ciliary, ne-choroid. Imbangela kaningi ayaziwa. Kungahle kuhlobene nokuphazamiseka okuzenzakalelayo, ukutheleleka, noma ukuvezwa ubuthi. Uhlobo lwe-uveitis oludala iso elibomvu kakhulu lubizwa nge-iritis, lapho kuphela khona i-iris evuthayo.

Ezinye izimbangela zokubomvu kwamehlo zifaka:

• Umkhuhlane noma ukungezwani komzimba nezinto ezithile.
• I-Acute glaucoma: Ukwanda okungazelelwe kwengcindezi yamehlo ebuhlungu kakhulu futhi edala izinkinga ezinkulu zokubuka. Lesi yisimo esiphuthumayo sezokwelapha. Indlela ejwayelekile ye-glaucoma isikhathi eside (engapheli) futhi ihamba kancane.
• Imihuzuko yeCorneal: Ukulimala okubangelwa isihlabathi, uthuli, noma ukusetshenziswa ngokweqile kwamalensi wokuxhumana.

Kwesinye isikhathi, indawo ebomvu ebomvu, ebizwa nge-subconjunctival hemorrhage, izovela kumhlophe kweso. Lokhu kuvame ukwenzeka ngemuva kokuhlunga noma ukukhwehlela, okudala ukopha kwegazi ebusweni beso. Imvamisa, abukho ubuhlungu futhi umbono wakho ujwayelekile. Cishe akuyona inkinga enkulu. Kungenzeka kuvame kakhulu kubantu abathatha ama-aspirin noma abanciphisa igazi. Ngoba igazi liyavuza ku-conjunctiva, okusobala, awukwazi ukusula noma ukugeza igazi. Njengokulimala, indawo ebomvu izophela kungapheli isonto noma amabili.

Zama ukuphumuza amehlo akho uma ubomvu bubangelwa ukukhathala noma ubunzima bamehlo. Ayikho enye indlela yokwelashwa edingekayo.

Uma unezinhlungu zamehlo noma inkinga yokubona, shayela udokotela wamehlo ngokushesha.

Iya esibhedlela noma ushayele inombolo yakho yendawo ephuthumayo (njenge-911) uma:

• Iso lakho libomvu ngemuva kokulimala kokungena.
• Unekhanda elinokufiphalaza noma ukudideka.
• Ubona ama-halos azungeze amalambu.
• Unesicanucanu nokuhlanza.

Shayela umhlinzeki wakho wezempilo uma:

• Amehlo akho abomvu ngaphezu kosuku olungu-1 kuya kwezi-2.
• Unobuhlungu bamehlo noma izinguquko zombono.
• Uphuza umuthi wokunciphisa igazi, njenge-warfarin.
• Ungaba nento esweni lakho.
• Uzwela kakhulu ekukhanyeni.
• Unokukhishwa okuphuzi noma okuluhlaza okuvela kwelinye lamehlo noma womabili.

Umhlinzeki wakho uzokwenza ukuhlolwa komzimba, kufaka phakathi ukuhlolwa kwamehlo, futhi abuze imibuzo ngomlando wakho wezokwelapha. Imibuzo ingafaka:

• Ingabe amehlo akho womabili athintekile noma elilodwa kuphela?
• Iyiphi ingxenye yeso ethintekayo?
• Ingabe uyawagqoka amalensi wokuxhumana?
• Ngabe ububomvu bafika kungazelelwe?
• Wake waba nokubomvu kwamehlo phambilini?
• Ingabe unezinhlungu zamehlo? Ingabe kuba kubi ngokuhamba kwamehlo?
• Ngabe umbono wakho unciphile?
• Ingabe uphuma iso, uyasha, noma uyalunywa?
• Ingabe unezinye izimpawu ezifana nesicanucanu, ukuhlanza, noma ukuphathwa yikhanda?

Umhlinzeki wakho angadinga ukugeza amehlo akho ngesisombululo se-saline futhi asuse noma imiphi imizimba yangaphandle emehlweni. Unganikezwa amaconsi wamehlo ozowasebenzisa ekhaya.
